Uppal Metro Station

Hyderabad Metro Rail is all set to transform the concept of public transport in the city, which envisages three corridors in the first phase. The third corridor of the Metro Project, Nagole-Shilparamam is of 28 kms length approximately, with 23 stations. The first phase of this corridor from Nagole-Mettuguda for a length of approximately 7-8 km would be operational this year, in 2015 and all efforts are moving in the right direction.

The second station in this corridor, Uppal now has a brand new Metro station in advanced stages of completion, gearing up for its moment of reckoning as a key transport hub in East Hyderabad. Uppal Metro station ushers the right face lift for this once sleepy suburb of Hyderabad. The station is now being spruced up with elevators, platform works, staircases and other amenities to make the station completely ready for the official launch of the train services.

Already, this section is witnessing regular test runs of the metro rail. Once completed, Uppal Metro station with its strategic location at the crossroads of major thoroughfares leading towards LB Nagar, Secunderabad, Koti and Warangal highway through Ghatkesar would emerge as the hub for future growth and development.

When compared to the Cyberabad corridor, Uppal is yet to witness the scale of development seen towards the Hi-tech city, but with the upcoming ITIR near Pocharam, which already boasts of several IT companies, Uppal would no doubt emerge as a pillar of Hyderabad’s development on its eastern plank.

The station, at the crossroads of major intersections would not only usher better connectivity for the people of this region but it would also be a big boost to the tourism sector, that enables visitors to reach this region directly from Madhapur through the dedicated Metro corridor. From Uppal metro station, it is easier to reach Warangal, Yadagirigutta and also places like Ramoji Film city, including other upcoming attractions and development projects. It would also serve to reduce traffic congestion and pollution, once more commuters avail the Metro. In short, Uppal Metro Station would spur large-scale development in the region, exploring the potential here and boost all-round development activities with the ultra-modern metro trains and rapid connectivity.
