Reduced Cost for Part-B Compared to Part-A
In contrast to Part-A corridors, which are estimated at ₹318 crore per km, the lower cost for Part-B is attributed to minimal land acquisition requirements, particularly along the Future City route. However, costs are slightly higher along the JBS-Medchal and JBS-Shameerpet stretches due to infrastructure challenges.
Phase-II Metro Expansion Includes Five Corridors
The Telangana government, after coming to power, prioritized Metro expansion to cover all corners of Hyderabad. Under Phase-II, five corridors were initially proposed:
- Nagole to Shamshabad Airport – 36.8 km
- Rayadurg to Kokapet – 11.6 km
- MGBS to Chandrayangutta – 7.5 km
- Miyapur to Patancheru – 13.4 km
- LB Nagar to Hayatnagar – 14.2 km
These corridors form Part-A of the Phase-II project and were submitted to the Centre on November 4 last year.
Project Execution in 50:50 Partnership
The entire Phase-II Metro expansion is being planned as a joint venture between the Centre and State with equal cost-sharing (50:50). An estimated ₹24,269 crore has been earmarked for Part-A, with per kilometre costs significantly higher than Part-B due to complex urban layouts and land issues.
DPR Awaiting Cabinet Nod Before Central Submission
According to HAML Managing Director NVS Reddy, the Part-B DPR will be submitted to the Centre following approval from the state cabinet. With this submission, the Congress-led state government continues to push for faster and more inclusive metro connectivity across Hyderabad.
