Telangana CM promises to extend metro line until Patancheru

The Hyderabad metro line will be extended to Patancheru after the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) is re-elected to power in 2024, announced chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.

“We will definitely establish a metro here. I promise that in the first cabinet meeting after coming back to power in 2024, we will extend the metro rail from Patancheru-Hayathnagar,” KCR said while addressing a public meeting after laying the foundation stone for the construction of a super-specialty hospital in Patancheru town.

The extension would give connectivity to all important centres along the high-density corridor to cope with ever-increasing traffic in the section, the chief minister added. KCR’s announcement followed his earlier declaration of extending the metro towards the Kandukur area in the Maheshwaram constituency. In the 2023-24 state budget, the state government announced the allocation of Rs 500 crore for the extension of metro rail services to the Old City.

However, the extension has remained in limbo for quite some time. Many political leaders from various parties allege the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) party is responsible for the delay.
