Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has successfully secured a significant commitment from the central government for the Hyderabad Metro project. Initially planned as a joint initiative funded by both the centre and the state, the project had evolved into a state-private (L&T) partnership under the previous BRS administration, a model that CM Revanth had been critical of.
Revanth Reddy had been actively appealing to the central government to become a partner in the metro project, and it appears his efforts have finally borne fruit.
Recently, during a visit to Hyderabad for a conclave, Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Shri Manohar Lal Khattar was requested by CM Revanth to consider central participation in the metro project. During their visit to the HMRL and HMDA stalls, Revanth showcased ongoing works, upcoming corridors, and key proposals awaiting central approval. He specifically urged the Union Minister to fast-track sanctions for Phase 2, a crucial step in expanding the city’s mobility infrastructure.
Following the meeting, Minister Khattar shared a major update: the Hyderabad Metro, previously managed by the Telangana government and L&T, will soon transition into a 50:50 joint venture between the Government of India and the Government of Telangana, operating under a strengthened PPP model.
He further revealed that proposals for nearly 162 km of new metro routes are currently under review. A final decision on feasible corridors and the scale of expansion is expected by March, paving the way for Hyderabad’s next phase of rapid urban growth and improved connectivity.
