L & T Metro Rail is ready to be commissioned in the next
few months. L & T Metro Rail is an ultramodern transit system that brings
multiple benefits that are accruing to the citizens of Hyderabad. The transit system
connects major bus stations, namely Miyapur, MGBS, Koti, Dilsukhnagar,
Charminar and Jubilee Bus Station.
An important trade
centre
Dilsukhnagar is one of the largest commercial hubs in
Hyderabad. With bustling shops and business centres, it comes on the Corridor
I: Miyapur – LB Nagar: 29 km (Stage 5: S R Nagar to L B Nagar) and is one of
the 27 stations on Corridor I.
Transit point for
buses
Dilsukhnagar is a major bus station as a changing point for
buses from different regions, which the authorities have taken into account. As
per the intermodal integration arrangement between Metro Rail and State RTC to
take care of passengers from Nalgonda, Khammam and Coastal Andhra and Mahatma
Gandhi Bus Station (MGBS), the Dilsukhnagar bus station will be the transit
point for inter-state and inter-district bus services.
Positive impact on
the region
In the adjoining/adjacent space in the neighbourhood of the
Metro Rail station commercial centres, facilities and amenities around to cater
to the everyday needs of passengers would come up. These include, retail
outlets (fast food and other consumer good outlets), ATMs, medicine shops,
laundry shops and so forth. Owing to this, property prices including commercial
real estate are buoyant in the region.
Further, Metro rail is likely to alleviate traffic
congestion, which is commonplace in the area. It is likely to boost
connectivity between Dilsukhnagar and other major urban centres in the city:
bus stations, rail stations, educational institutions, hospitals, major places
of tourist interest, and others.
The bus station at Dilsukhnagar is named 'floating
population' because people come here from every nook and cranny of the country
in search of employment. With Metro Rail coming up, this region will be further
elevated: it will boost trade in the region, and would create new and more
employment and income-earning opportunities.
