The Telangana government has proposed a major Phase-II expansion. The submitted plan covers 122.9 kilometres across seven corridors, with an estimated project cost of ₹38,595 crore.
The state has also been pursuing discussions with the Centre regarding the Metro expansion. In June, an agreement was reached to appoint SBICAPS as a consultant for studying Phase-I valuation, financing and Phase-II expansion.
The Centre has separately stated that Metro proposals undergo detailed appraisal. The process includes feasibility checks, clarifications and assessment of available resources.
Old City Metro and Future Mobility
Hyderabad’s Metro expansion also includes efforts to improve connectivity in underserved areas.
The Telangana government has been working on the proposed Old City Metro corridor. In August, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy directed officials to speed up work on the 7.5-kilometre MGBS-Chandrayangutta stretch.
The government is also looking at ways to handle rising Metro ridership. Additional coaches and better integration with other public transport services are part of the broader mobility strategy.
