Hyderabad Metro

Hyderabad Metro

Welcome to the next post on MRT India. I hope that all of you are staying home and are safe. But, a blog can't stop getting new posts if the government makes us stay home. In this post, we will discuss the evolution of Hyderabad metro.

Inception and Evolution:

The hyderabad metro was first proposed in 2003 in the state assembly. Soon, the project to builda metro in Hyderabad as brought up. although the city had a MMTS in the form of trains, the city lacked a metro to connect the inner parts of the city. To solve this issue, the Hyderabad metro began construction in 2015 by a Public Private Partnership or PPP between the Telangana state government and Larsen and Toubro, also called L&T. 

Together, L&T and the state completed construction in November 2017 and opened a 30km section between Miyaaapur to LB Nagar and a branch to Nagole which would later become the Blue line from Raidurg to Nagole besides Myapur to LB Nagar Red line.

By inaugrating a 30km section at a time, Hyderabad Metro never faced any operational losses as the metro was mainly used not as a joy ride like in the cases of Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and even London.

Since then, the metro has expanded rapidly and recently last year, Ameerpet to Hitec City section was also inaugrated expanding the metro to be 54km big. Bright and joyful days are coming to the city with most famous Biriyani in India.

Thank you for reading this post. I will be doing something different in the next post. It is quite long, so i won't post anything next week. Guess what!!
