HYDERABAD (Metro Rail News): Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL) Managing Director NVS Reddy on Thursday, 21st April said that they are ready to start phase II of Metro rail works if any investor comes forward to take up the project. He informed this at the event after the inauguration of electric autos as part of last mile connectivity. He also said that phase II of metro rail works for Hyderabad would cost Rs 5,000 crore.
Phase-2 of Hyderabad Metro will provide connectivity to Shamshabad airport from Hyderabad city. The HMRL MD said that passenger footfall was decreased due to Covid but it has now highly increased. “Today more than 2.7 lakh people arrive and depart from the airport. Before Covid, the number would go up to 4 lakh passengers per day. We will soon witness pre-Covid levels,” he said.
Hyderabad Metro has incurred a loss of Rs 3,000 crore, but L&T managed to overcome the losses. Without it, the government would have lost Rs 20,000 crore,” he added.
Is there any plan for extension of metro rail from Miyapur to Lingampally.
Extend metro to ORR
We can as well connect line of sanath Nagar to moulali wia malkajgiri to facilitate the nearby colony of safilguda ,ecil,neredmet
If really this is done we can pack off to bhongir from ecil
It will be good if govt takes initiative to bring metro from ECil to tarnaka and also a flyover from ECil to patny and from patny to hitech City
Please take initiative
Metro is usually planned in routes
1. Which are profitable
2. Where there is feasibility
At this moment, Gachibowli to Shamshabad is a simple one when compared to ECIL to secunderabad
Is there any proposal for extension of phase – I lines i.e LB Nagar to Hayathnagar and Miyapur to Lingampally
When compared common man to alighted, metro users are common people, wasting public money for laying metro to airport instead of busy route
Extend metro airport to mgbs station
Is it contract L&T I think elevated metro and 2.5 km underground tunnel near airport
L&T having good experience in both flyover and underground
