Telangana Municipal Administration Minister KT Rama Rao unveiled the government’s ambitious plans for the future development of Hyderabad. The Minister shared Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao’s vision of expanding the Metro network in Hyderabad to a whopping 250 km.

KTR highlighted several upcoming projects that will contribute to this expansion. He mentioned the new Airport Express Metro, a 31-km stretch connecting Shamshabad to Raidurg. Additionally, the phase 2 expansion of Hyderabad Metro Rail from BHEL to Lakdi-ka-pul (26 km) and Jubilee Bus Station to ECIL will add to the existing network of 71 km. KTR asserted that the airport Metro would not only benefit air travellers but also open up the southwest corridor of Hyderabad

The withdrawal of GO-111, which previously restricted development in the catchment areas of Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar lakes, has paved the way for construction activities in the region.
