08 May 2025 CW Team

The corridors being finalised include JBS–Medchal (24.5 km), JBS–Shamirpet (22 km), and Shamshabad–Future City (40 km). Meanwhile, the state is awaiting central clearance for Phase-II Part A, which includes five corridors spanning 76.4 km with an estimated cost of Rs 242.69 billion. All five lines are extensions of Phase I corridors and are projected to serve 7.96 lakh daily passengers by 2028.

Phase I of the Hyderabad Metro, developed at a cost of Rs 221.48 billion, covers 69 km and is recognised as the world’s largest metro project under a public-private partnership (PPP). It currently supports nearly five lakh daily commuters.

Ramakrishna Rao, who took charge as Chief Secretary on April 30, inspected the metro expansion works in the Old City alongside HAML MD N.V.S. Reddy. He reviewed the road widening efforts along the 7.5-km MGBS–Chandrayangutta corridor, a project that had seen minimal progress for over a decade.

The inspection included areas from Darul Shifa to Shalibanda Junction, where several buildings are being demolished to make way for the metro. Reddy explained that the relocation of electrical and communication lines was being done carefully to avoid public disruption. Despite tight and congested lanes, demolition is proceeding in a planned manner.

Reddy also highlighted the presence of around 105 religious, historical, and sensitive structures along the alignment. Special precautions are being taken to ensure their preservation.

The Chief Secretary commended the metro team for managing the challenges effectively and instructed them to maintain strict safety protocols during demolition and debris removal. He assured that funds would be released swiftly to fast-track the project’s completion.
