Hyderabad Metro DPR: The residents of Hyderabad and the outskirts region will be able to access it. According to the Revanth government’s plans, new corridors are being added in the second phase. Plans are underway to make commuting easier for those who live distant from the city. Metro trains will travel in all directions within the city if the new route is made available.

Meanwhile, the government has received the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the second phase of the Hyderabad Metro, prepared at an estimated cost of ₹19,000 crore. After the upcoming cabinet meeting ratifies it, the government will submit the DPR to the central government. The project plans to construct the metro across three routes, covering a total of 86.5 kilometers. Authorities have prepared separate DPRs for each route: Shamshabad Airport to Future City, JBS to Medchal, and JBS to Shamirpet.

Clarity on Double Decks:

Officials have not proposed double-deck structures on these three routes. Earlier plans included double-decking for the JBS–Medchal and JBS–Shamirpet stretches. However, they dropped the idea of building the metro on the second level and the road on the first, as constructing stations at such heights proved impractical.

JBS to Hakimpet:

Planners proposed a metro line that would run nearly 1.5 kilometers underground after a defense firm raised objections to the elevated runway near Hakimpet Air Force Station. The original plan placed the runway below the metro line. Authorities suggested a 24.5 km metro route from JBS to Medchal, passing through Tadbund, Bowenpally, Suchitra, and Kompally. They finalized the alignment in line with the Chief Minister’s strategy to develop JBS into a global three-way transit hub.

Future City to Shamshabad Airport:

Officials have proposed a 40-kilometer metro link between Future City and Shamshabad Airport, with plans to build an underground terminal station at the airport. If the metro follows an elevated route up to the Raviriyala ORR, the DPR includes a plan to run 18 kilometers at ground level through the center of the government’s newly proposed greenfield road.

The second phase of the DPR will move forward through a collaborative effort between the central and state governments. The central government will contribute 18 percent of the estimated cost, while the state government will cover 30 percent. Authorities plan to raise 48 percent of the funds through bank loans, and the remaining 4 percent will come through public-private partnerships (PPP).
