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.

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.
