Hyderabad Metro Rail is an ambitious
international infrastructure project conceived to change the destiny of
Hyderabad city. The city, with a proud Nawabi heritage and as an icon of
services industry in India has a cosmopolitan outlook that has attracted people
and businesses from all over the country for decades.
However, the public transport and infrastructure
hasn’t kept pace with the geographical expansion of the city and the population
explosion, that has been witnessed during the last twenty to thirty years. It
is this need for a modern transport solution, which has necessitated the
conception of Hyderabad Metro Rail. The project envisages three corridors,
namely LB Nagar-Miyapur, JBS-Falaknuma and Nagole-Shilparamam.
The Corridor I, LB Nagar-Miyapur
spanning a distance of approximately 29 km connects the South Eastern Suburb of
LB Nagar with the North Western Suburb of Miyapur. From a nondescript
rural hamlet fifteen years ago, Miyapur has emerged as the core point from
where the next phase of growth is being envisioned. Situated along the key
national highway connecting Hyderabad with Mumbai, Miyapur is today an emerging
residential hub and also a hub of public transport towards one corner of
Hyderabad.
LB Nagar, abutting the Vijayawada highway has
witnessed a spurt of residential colonies and also theme parks and resorts that
are located within a distance of 10-15 minutes, for the purpose of
entertainment. It also houses the world famous Ramoji Film City. With Telangana
government’s plans to develop one more world-class Film city and International
Pharma park at Rachakonda, situated approximately 25-35 km from L.B. Nagar, the Corridor I,
of Hyderabad Metro Rail is poised to emerge as the lifeline of development in
Hyderabad.
The corridor with a total of 27 Stations criss-crosses the
important hubs of Metro rail starting from Miyapur, followed by JNTU College, KPHB Colony, Kukatpally,
Balanagar , Moosapet , Bharat
Nagar, Erragadda , ESI Hospital, S R Nagar, Ameerpet, Punjagutta, Irrum Manzil,
Khairatabad, Lakdikapul, Assembly, Nampally, Gandhi Bhavan, Osmania Medical
College, MG Bus station, Malakpet, New Market, Musarambagh, Dilsukhnagar,
Chaitanyapuri, Victoria Memorial and L B Nagar.
As a direct link that connects Miyapur to LB
Nagar in 45 minutes compared to the road travel time of one hour 45 minutes,
one can travel across the city from Mumbai highway to Vijayawada highway
through some of the bustling junctions, which are hubs for education,
residence, businesses and multinational companies. In short, Corridor I of Hyderabad Metro Rail connects the entrepreneurial
spirit and the future of Hyderabad.
