The second phase of the Hyderabad Metro Rail is set to cost approximately Rs 32,237 crore. Final touches are being made to the Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for this ambitious project, which includes six corridors spanning a total of 116.2 km.
One key corridor will connect Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) to the proposed Fourth City, with an estimated cost of Rs 8,000 crore. The project will be implemented as a joint venture between the Telangana and Central governments, similar to other Metro projects across India, according to N.V.S. Reddy, Managing Director of Hyderabad Airport Metro Ltd (HAML).
Reddy informed Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy that the DPRs are nearing completion. HAML is currently awaiting the traffic study report from the Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP), prepared by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA). This traffic data is crucial for validating Metro corridor projections before submitting the DPRs for government approvals.
