Korean coaches ready for Hyderabad metro

The first metro train from Korea is ready for the L&T Hyderabad Metro Rail project. It is expected to be shipped and moved to Hyderabad by next month. The train will reach India ahead of the scheduled date, which is a benchmark and a trendsetter. The trial run for commercial operations will commence in June 2014. At present, a model rail coach is on display in Hyderabad. The Rs 16,000-crore elevated metro rail project, being developed in a PPP mode, spans a stretch of 72 km along three high-congestion corridors.
