Hyderabad Metro Phase 2 Expansion Approved

The Indian Cabinet has given the green light to the Phase 2 expansion of Hyderabad Metro, marking a significant investment of Rs 24,269 crore to boost connectivity in the rapidly growing city. This project aims to extend Hyderabad’s metro network by adding approximately 63 kilometers of track, thereby improving public transport access across new regions of the city. This ambitious phase is set to connect the core of Hyderabad with key suburban and high-density areas, such as Lakdikapul, BHEL, Miyapur, and Kokapet. The expansion is expected to ease road congestion, enhance travel efficiency, and support sustainable urban growth.

The Telangana government led the proposal, highlighting the need for expanded urban transit solutions in light of Hyderabad’s rapid economic and population growth. Upon completion, Phase 2 is projected to carry an additional 1.5 million passengers daily, supplementing the current Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL) network. This expansion will integrate with the existing Phase 1 lines to create a seamless, high-frequency service across Hyderabad, encouraging a shift from private vehicle use to public transit.

Phase 2 also includes significant technological and operational enhancements, such as advanced signaling systems, energy-efficient trains, and passenger amenities aimed at improving the commuter experience. The project’s approval reflects both state and central government commitment to sustainable infrastructure investments and smart urban mobility solutions, aligning with Hyderabad’s long-term plans for green city development.

With this project, Hyderabad joins several Indian cities expanding their metro rail networks to meet increasing urban demands. The project is expected to contribute to Hyderabad’s economic vibrancy, reduce air pollution, and enhance livability by providing more efficient and eco-friendly travel options.
