To keep speed with the rapid development in Warangal, a Metro Rail Transit has been considered necessary. Maha Metro was appointed to prepare a DPR consequently as the Metro-Neo project was proposed.

The outline of the project on the KPHB-Financial District-Kokapet corridor is in the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) form.
