Progress of Hyderabad Metro Rail
With the completion of the Hyderabad Metro Rail, the city of Hyderabad will join other elite cities of
the world with its very own Mass Rapid Transport System. Once completed, it is envisaged that the
Metro Rail will convert Hyderabad into a most preferred city of the country, as it will offer seamless
commuting across the city.
Facts about the Hyderabad Metro Rail Project
The Metro Rail network will cover a distance of 72 kilometres and it is divided into 3 corridors.
Corridor I: Miyapur to L.B. Nagar (29 km; 27 Stations)
Corridor II: JBS, Secunderabad to Falaknuma (15 km; 16 Stations)
Corridor III: Nagole to Shilparamam (28 km; 23 Stations)
The Metro Rail will provide ‘seamless travel’ facility through integration with the existing rail
terminals, bus depots, MMTS stations and “Merry-go-round” feeder buses to nearby colonies and
business areas/offices to offer comfortable, convenient and hassle-free travel across the City of
Pearls.
Highlights of the Hyderabad Metro Rail
The three elevated corridors throughout the city will have Metro stations along the route at a
distance of approximately 1 kilometer
The stations will be environment-friendly with state-of-the-art facilities like lifts, escalators and
staircases
As the Metro Rail will pass through major roads of the city, it will provide seamless connectivity
to commercial and residential areas as well as bus stations.
Along the three corridors, parking and leisure areas will be developed on the land provided by
the Government of Andhra Pradesh
