DPR For 671 km Hyderabad Pune Mumbai High Speed Rail Complete

Railway authorities have completed the detailed project report for the 671 km Hyderabad–Pune–Mumbai high-speed rail corridor and have identified land acquisition needs of 93 km within Telangana. The DPR covers alignment options, station locations and initial estimates for right of way, and officials have prepared proposals for submission to the Union railway ministry. The state Chief Secretary chaired a review of the proposals with senior departmental officials and representatives of railway agencies.

The Chief Secretary instructed departments to prepare coordinated project proposals and to work closely with the Union railway ministry on land acquisition, connectivity and infrastructure requirements. Officials were asked to liaise with the roads and buildings department, the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority and airport authorities to ensure timely clearances and utility relocations. The administration emphasised phased implementation and interagency coordination to reduce delays.

Railway representatives informed the meeting that separate land acquisition totalling 123 km would be required for the Hyderabad–Bengaluru and Hyderabad–Chennai corridors and that land would also be needed at Kokapet and Shamshabad for depots. Special Chief Secretaries Vikas Raj and Navin Mittal, HMDA metropolitan commissioner Sarfaraz Ahmed and officials from the Union railway ministry and GMR Hyderabad Airport participated in the review. The proposals are to be finalised in consultation with central agencies.

Officials indicated that the network is intended to function as a modern rapid transport system supporting future public transport demand and boosting industrial, information technology and tourism activity across the region. The Chief Secretary framed the projects as part of a broader Telangana Rising 2047 economic growth corridor and urged departments to prioritise preparatory work. Project teams will now advance land surveys, environmental assessments and detailed designs ahead of statutory approvals.
