Prakash Nagar Metro Station

The much-awaited Hyderabad Metro Rail is progressing as per schedule, heralding the promise of ushering an international experience of effective public transport system for the people of Hyderabad.  The corridor III of Hyderabad Metro Rail has been planned from Nagole – Shilparamam and this includes various sections such as Nagole-Mettuguda, Mettuguda-Begumpet and Begumpet- Shilparamam.

Prakash Nagar Metro Station, an important station on Mettuguda-Begumpet section of corridor III is being completed at a remarkable pace, for realizing the dreams of the denizens of Hyderabad in coming few months and years.

Begumpet Airport, a significant civilian airport, which is now only serving charter aircraft and VVIP movement, propelled the growth of this region especially from 1970 till 2008, resulting in a large influx of residential apartments, educational institutes, banks, commercial buildings and other thriving activities. Located on an arterial inner ring road connecting Tarnaka and Uppal region through Paradise with Ameerpet and Punjagutta, Prakash Nagar is an important junction of Hyderabad.

It is a key station of corridor III and it is more important, as it lies exactly in between the two interchange stations of Parade grounds and Ameerpet. Parade grounds station connects corridor III with corridor II. This makes it easier for commuters to switch to JBS-Falaknuma route of Metro Rail. Ameerpet interchange station connects corridor III with corridor I, wherein commuters can switch to Miyapur-LB Nagar route of Metro. 

Prakash nagar station is being spruced up with modern equipments for platform construction, overhead rails, and other major aspects of metro station. Once the station becomes operational, in addition to restoring the earlier era of Begumpet’s high thrust development, it would be a hub of activity with a public transport system like Metro. Prakash Nagar station is all set to provide a renewed push for the overall development of this region giving access for commuters from the residential and commercial hotspots of the old airport region for travelling to other far-flung areas of Hyderabad city.
