08 May 2025 CW Team

The reports cover three key corridors: JBS–Medchal (24.5 km), JBS–Shamirpet (22 km), and Shamshabad–Future City (40 km). Meanwhile, the state is still awaiting central clearance for Phase-II Part A, which includes five corridors spanning 76.4 km at an estimated cost of Rs 242.69 billion. All five corridors under Part A are extensions of Phase I routes. By 2028, Phase-II is projected to serve 796,000 daily commuters.

Phase I of the Hyderabad Metro, which spans 69 km and connects high-traffic corridors, was built at a cost of Rs 221.48 billion. It remains the world’s largest metro project developed under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, with nearly 500,000 daily riders.

After assuming office on April 30, Chief Secretary Ramakrishna Rao visited the Old City to inspect Metro expansion works alongside HAML Managing Director N.V.S. Reddy. They reviewed road-widening progress along the 7.5-km corridor from MGBS to Chandrayangutta, a project that had seen little movement for over a decade.

The inspection covered areas from Darul Shifa to Shalibanda Junction, where structures are being cleared to make way for the metro line. Reddy assured that electrical, telephone, and cable lines are being carefully relocated to avoid public disruption. Despite the area's narrow roads, demolition is proceeding in a phased and controlled manner.

Reddy noted that about 105 religious, historical, and sensitive structures lie along the route, and utmost caution is being taken to preserve them. The Chief Secretary praised the metro team for their work and instructed them to ensure safe demolition and effective debris removal. He also promised a swift release of funds to accelerate progress.
