The second (semi-high-speed) Vande Bharat express (Secunderabad-Tirupati) from Secunderabad of Hyderabad to Tirupati will be inaugurated on 8 April 2023, among other projects, by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, at a ceremony in Hyderabad that will cost Rs 113.55 billion.

PM Modi will lay the foundations for six National Highway (NH) projects and the redevelopment and modernization of the Secunderabad railway station during his visit to Hyderabad. These projects are expected to cost Rs 7.15 billion and Rs 78.64 billion, respectively. The doubling work on the Secunderabad-Mahabubnagar railway line, which cost around Rs 14.10 billion, and various development projects at Bibinagar and AIIMS, which cost approximately Rs 13.66 billion, are also expected to be inaugurated.

In addition, PM Modi will be present for the opening of 13 new MMTS Phase-II services between Bolarum-Medchal and Falaknuma-Umdanagar.

Additionally, two more vande Bharat express routes connecting Secunderabad and Pune and Kacheguda and Bengaluru are anticipated to go via Telangana's capital city.

The opening of these construction projects is a key step towards enhancing Hyderabad's transportation and infrastructure. Better connection and transportation options for the local population will be made possible by the introduction of the Vande Bharat Express and the MMTS Phase-II services. This action is anticipated to increase the state of Telangana's economic growth and raise the general standard of living for its residents.
