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.

The government also has plans to get an Elevated Bus Rapid Transit System (Metro Neo) project in Hyderabad.

The park would include an aviary, an aquatic bird park, butterfly park, amphitheatre, rural huts, food courts, sculpture park, mountain biking tracks, etc. To develop the old city and reduce traffic, a total of 15 new bridges and check dams for Rs 8 crore are being planned on the Musi river.
