Hyderabad Metro, an attribute for Brand Hyderabad!

Hyderabad, India’s fifth largest city is now considered among the topmost growing cities of the world and is a busting cosmopolitan city all set to get the formal tag of ‘Metropolitan’ city in the coming few years formally from the government of India.

The city is not only an Information technology hub but also an established Pharma hub of India. Infact it is estimated that more than 40 percent of India’s bulk drugs are manufactured in the city. The ICICI knowledge park located in Shamirpet on the city’s outskirts has emerged as a hub of modern research & development industries in the field of Biotechnology.

Hyderabad is also home to some of the largest public sector units in India, especially those related to defense sector such as Mithani, DRDL, Ordnance factory, Bharath Dynamics Limited and other ancillary industries manufacturing crucial missile components. There are more than 40-50 central research institutes and organizations critical for country’s growth and development. Nuclear Fuel complex, CCMB, CDFD, Survey of India, NGRI etc., are some of the key organizations, to name a few. The city is also an education hub with many institutes of excellence and reputed universities based in Hyderabad. Infact, Hyderabad is the city that sends maximum number of students to world-class institutions like IIT.

The Outer Ring Road, Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, the Business district of Gachibowli coupled with the city’s numerous heritage destinations, nawabi lifestyle and its rich culture and traditions have all created Brand Hyderabad.

Brand Hyderabad is here to stay and grow. With Hyderabad Metro Rail, the city is all set to enter a new growth phase, which the city would have never seen before. It is being touted as the much needed fillip for the city’s growth potential because an expanding city like Hyderabad, which has almost crossed one crore population needs a long-term and sustainable public transport system.

Hyderabad Metro is environment-friendly, sustainable, cost effective means of travel and it is poised to create growth corridors across the length and breadth of the city in different directions. With the proposed new IT and hardware corridors coming up in the suburbs of Hyderabad, Metro is the much needed growth engine. Apart from first phase, there are more expansion plans for Metro in the future that is nothing short of a boon for this city, known for its pluralistic culture and an openness that welcomes people from different parts of India and also the world in a globalized era. In short, Hyderabad Metro is the shining armor that is a feather in the cap for ‘Brand Hyderabad’ for decades to come!
