Save Environment

Earth, the planet on which we are living has sustained life for millions of years. However, after industrial revolution and then now in the era of globalization and rapid development, due to climate change, the planet is facing several drastic changes. Untimely rains, flash floods and prolonged drought spell etc are spelling doom for mankind.

Therefore, in order to balance the requirement for a mass public transport system and a clean environment, L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad Limited was conceived to provide an environment friendly mode of transport. Hyderabad Metro Rail is a boon for the city of Hyderabad, and a welcome relief from the heavy air pollution, due to growing number of vehicles on roads.

The metro rail operates on electricity and it doesn’t consume fossil fuels. Hence there is no emission of green house gases. Moreover there will be very less sound pollution due to the efficiency of coaches and the advanced engineering that has been used for building the track, viaducts as well as metro coaches.

Hyderabad Metro is expected to gain good number of carbon credits as the project will be reducing the carbon foot print, being a non fossil fuel emitting mode of transport. Once the metro is operational, it is expected that millions of commuters riding private vehicles will eventually shift towards Metro ride. This advantage of Metro rail project will also reduce the number of vehicles plying on roads, and naturally there will be less air pollution. 

Most of the metro tickets will be paperless by means of smart cards and other forms of tickets thereby reducing the burden on paper, which is made by cutting trees and clearing forests. In several ways, the project is seen as an environment friendly and sustainable mode of transport. In an era where it is becoming a challenge to address climate change and reverse the damage to environment, a mass rapid transit system with the capacity to carry millions of passengers in a city like Hyderabad is a right step in the right direction. It is an important initiative for saving earth and would serve to inspire other green strategies in the years to come!
