Telangana CM lays foundation for airport metro project

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao last week laid the foundation stone for the 31-km Hyderabad Airport Metro Rail project. Between Mindspace junction and Shamshabad Airport (Hyderabad International Airport), the metro arm would cost approximately Rs 62.50 billion, Rao said.

The project entails a 27 km elevated route and 2.5 km underground passage. It is funded by the state government, the GMR group, and the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA).

“Mass transport and metro rail are the only traffic- and pollution-free systems in the world. There is a need to expand this in Hyderabad also. Whether the Central government cooperates or not, we will create better connectivity in the city,” Rao said. Complimenting the officials for their efforts to make the Airport Metro a reality, Rao said Hyderabad, which is known as a true cosmopolitan city not discriminating between religions and communities, has now become a global city.

Hyderabad was not appropriately developed during earlier regimes in undivided Andhra Pradesh, he alleged. He stressed the need to increase greenery further in the city.
