The metro rail network will be constructed in four new corridors.
Chief Minister A.Revanth Reddy has finalised the Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) second phase of 70 km length, connecting the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) from four corners of the city to ensure that metro rail services are accessible to the majority of commuters in the State capital.
In the proposed next phase of metro rail expansion, the existing metro rail network between Secunderabad’s Jubilee Bus Station (JBS) to Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station (Imlibun) will be extended up to Falaknuma to an extent of 5.5 km and also from Falaknuma to Chandrayangutta crossroads to an extent of 1.5 km, said official sources on Monday.
In addition to this, the metro rail network will be constructed in four new corridors. The existing Nagole metro terminal station will be extended up to to L.B. Nagar terminal metro station and also connect to the Chandrayangutta crossroads, Mailardevpally, P7 Road and to Shamshabad Airport for a total distance of 29 km.
Corridor 4 will be built from Mylardevpally to the proposed High Court at Rajendranagar via Aramghar to an extent of 4 km. Corridor 5 will be built from Raidurg metro station to Biodiversity junction, Nanakramguda junction, Wipro junction and American Consulate (financial district) to an extent of 8 km.
Corridor 6 will extend from Miyapur terminal metro station to Patancheru via BHEL to a distance of 14 km and Corridor 7 from L.B. Nagar metro station to Vanasthalipuram and Hayatnagar for a distance of 8 km.
Official sources pointed out that currently, the HMR has been providing services on a stretch of 69 km in three corridors between Miyapur and L.B. Nagar (Red Line or Corridor 1), JBS station to MGBS (Green Line or Corridor 2) and Nagole to Raidurg (Blue Line or Corridor 3).
HMR has already prepared a new route map based on the instructions of the Chief Minister for the expansion of the metro rail network in the identified areas. Mr. Revanth Reddy has directed the officials concerned to scrap the routes proposed by the previous BRS government as those were not “useful” for a majority of the population and will also incur a heavy expenditure.
