Government Plans Metro Expansion in Hyderabad's North City

2025-01-06

The residents of North Hyderabad are set to benefit from the Telangana government's plan to expand the city's metro network to Medchal and Shamirpet. Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has instructed officials to prepare Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for two new metro corridors as part of this major expansion project.

As per the CM's directive, the DPRs must be completed quickly and incorporated into Phase-2B of the metro project. Once finalised, the reports will be submitted to the central government for approval.

The proposed extensions include:

Extending the metro line from Paradise to Medchal. Extending the metro line from Jubilee Bus Station (JBS) to Shamirpet. This initiative reflects the government's commitment to improving public transportation, enhancing connectivity, and addressing the city's growing traffic concerns. Once completed, these metro extensions will offer residents efficient travel options and alleviate congestion in North Hyderabad.

Updates regarding the project's timeline and progress will be announced once the DPRs are finalised and approved by the central government.
