Hyderabad Airport Metro Rail okays DPRs for 3 corridors of Phase 2B, Telangana govt nod awaited
The Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) of the proposed Phase 2B of Hyderabad Metro Rail for three corridors — Jubilee Bus Station (JBS)-Medchal, JBS-Shameerpet, and Airport-Future City — have been approved by the Hyderabad Airport Metro Limited (HAML) board, officials said on Thursday. The proposed corridors span a length of 86.1 km and are estimated at a cost of ₹19,579 crore. According to N V S Reddy, managing director of HAML, the DPRs are currently under review by the Telangana government. 'Confidentiality needs to be maintained on certain aspects related to these until the state government approval is received, and therefore, full details cannot be provided at this time,' he said. However, he added that several aspects have been included in the DPR, along with transforming JBS into an international hub as per the directions of Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. He revealed that the JBS-Medchal route will be a fully elevated corridor of 24.5 kilometres with 18 stations whereas the JBS Station-Shameerpet route will be a 22-kilometer corridor with 14 stations. This route will be 20.35 km elevated and 1.65 km underground. The Metro MD said that the underground route will be near the Hakimpet Airport. RGIA-Future City (Skill University) is 39.6 kilometers, of which 1.5 km will be underground from the airport, 21 km elevated, and 17 km at grade. He stated that it would be from Shamshabad International Airport to Skills University via Pedda Golconda and Raviryala ORR exits. N V S Reddy reiterated that the second phase (B) DPRs have been comprehensively prepared and submitted to the state government, keeping in view the central government guidelines, Metro rail construction estimates in other states, and the traffic needs of Hyderabad city. He stated that full details will be given once the state government approves the DPRs and submits the proposal to the Central Government. The HMRL currently operates three corridors covering 69 km and is the largest public-private partnership Metro rail project in the world. Under Phase-1, the HMRL has been operating LB Nagar to Miyapur, Nagole to Raidurgam, and JBS to MGBS corridors for the last five years. The stretch between MGBS to Falaknuma has not materialised, mainly due to objections to property acquisition and route alignment issues, and the new government has taken up this stretch along with the rest of the Phase 2 corridors. Under phase 2, significant expansion to existing Metro rail corridors is planned for about 76 km at an estimated cost of Rs 24,269 crore. These include Miyapur to Patancheru (approximately 13.4 km) with about 10 stations; Nagole to Shamshabad Airport via LB Nagar and Chandrayangutta (approximately 29 km) with 24 stations; Raidurg to Kokapet (approximately 8 km) with eight stations; LB Nagar to Hayathnagar via Vanasthalipuram (approximately 7.1 km) with 6 stations; and MGBS to Falaknuma (approximately 7.5 km) with six stations.
