06 Jun 2025 CW Team

The Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for Phase 2 ‘B’ of the Hyderabad Metro Rail are anticipated to receive approval in the forthcoming state cabinet meeting scheduled for June 5. The Hyderabad Airport Metro Rail (HAML) prepared and submitted the DPRs for three new metro routes to the state government last month.

Phase 2 of the metro project is divided into two segments: Phase 2 ‘A’ and Phase 2 ‘B’. Phase 2 ‘A’, which includes five routes with an estimated cost of Rs 242.69 billion, is currently under central government review. Phase 2 ‘B’, proposed at Rs 195.79 billion, is planned as a joint venture between the central and state governments. Following approval by the state cabinet, the DPRs for Phase 2 ‘B’ will be sent to the Centre for final sanction.

Phase 2 ‘B’ proposes three corridors spanning a total of 86.1 km with 32 stations. These include a 22 km route from JBS to Shameerpet with 14 stations, a 24.5 km route from JBS to Medchal with 18 stations, and a 39.6 km stretch from Shamshabad Airport to Fourth City proposed at this stage. Metro officials anticipate that these routes will significantly enhance public transport and help alleviate traffic congestion, especially in northern Hyderabad.

Together, Phases 2 ‘A’ and ‘B’ will cover a combined network of 162.5 km across eight corridors, with a total estimated investment of Rs 438.48 billion. This expanded metro network is expected to strengthen Hyderabad’s public transportation infrastructure, ease traffic challenges, and improve connectivity throughout the city.
