Hyderabad Metro Rail, Redesigning Hyderabad's Image

Hyderabad Metro Rail project is a one-of-its-kind mass rapid transport system which is all set to usher a new phase of growth for the city of Hyderabad. The project would be showcasing its potential as an investment destination with a world-class public transport system.

At the same time, the metro rail is also an opportunity to redesign the city of Hyderabad and its ethos as a people-friendly as well as an environment-friendly global city.

The project has been conceived to meet the challenges of rapid urbanisation of a densely populated city like Hyderabad and also manage the traffic and transportation issues of the city given the complex task of traffic management in Indian cities.  The project entails establishing inter-modal connectivity between different transport systems like Metro, main rail, feeder buses and establishment of exclusive spaces for bicycle stations and other non-motorized eco-friendly transport at Metro stations. It also envisages building of skywalks and other important pedestrian facilities, which would make Metro user friendly.

Following the operationalization of this integrated Metro Rail project and emphasis placed on densification of the major transportation corridors by means of transit-oriented development (TOD), the project would also result in comprehensive development of walkable neighborhoods. It also boosts the development of latest urban planning practices, which can make Hyderabad a better livable and a truly globally competitive city.

In this regard, the newly created industry-friendly policy of Telangana government would boost and infact complement the progress of Metro by attracting huge investments from all over the world. With better mobility required for new industrial corridors that would be created for the IT, biotechnology, and other sectors like defence and aerospace sectors in Hyderabad and also the proposed growth corridor along ORR,  Hyderabad Metro Rail is uniquely positioned to script a new success story of how a Metro can oversee the perfect transformation of a highly populated city into a dynamic growth hub.

In this regard, Hyderabad Metro Rail’s new thrust towards rapid construction of the project with active co-operation from the government of Telangana would create the right spurt for various development activities, with the metro rail forming the fulcrum of Hyderabad’s next phase of development.
