Hyderabad, considered
among the fastest growing cities in the world is today teeming with a
population of nearly one crore. The
rapid increase in the population of this city shows how it has become a haven
for migrants and also as hub of opportunities and growth. The planners of
modern Hyderabad have made slight progress but in a globalized world, where
technology is the order of the day, there is a need for a smart and intelligent
mode of transport that can revolutionize public transport in the city.
Hyderabad’s growth
received a boost with the establishment of Central research institutes in
different concerns of the city as well as the large public sector enterprises
that have changed the landscape of Hyderabad. This was the scenario till mid-
1980s.However, with the city earning the tag of an IT destination and also
providing the platform for the growth of bulk drug industry and biotech based
companies, the city has witnessed a tremendous growth rate which somehow wasn’t matched with improvements in public
infrastructure.
It is an established
fact across the world that no matter how many development projects are
operationalized and how many industries come forward creating a perfect growth
momentum, unless the infrastructure doesn’t
complement the growth, then there may a reversal of the growth rate in
long-term. Hence, it is imperative for a burgeoning metropolis like Hyderabad
to have an excellent infrastructure project like Hyderabad Metro Rail, that can
alter the dynamics of growth and infact create the ground for future
development, while plugging the gaps in terms of mass rapid transit systems
that are seen as an effective solution.
Apart from making travel hassle-free, in an age of combating carbon emissions, an environment friendly transport system that can reduce vehicular traffic and also air and sound pollution is a welcome addition that can only propel the growth engine forward. The Metro rail project executed by L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited brings the best world-class expertise of the renowned engineering company, L&T to Hyderabad. Having created its first iconic building for IT development, Hi-tech city, L&T is a name synonymous with development in Hyderabad.
The tryst with L&T
continues for Hyderabad now in the form of this futuristic infrastructure
project spanning 71 kms in the first phase covering three dense corridors,
criss crossing various corners of the city. Once Metro Rail gets operational,
given the impressive construction pace combined with innovative engineering,
the city is expected to get a significant growth push, not only as a
destination of international companies but also as a city that boasts of
sustainable public transport solutions, creating a right value add for the
city.
