History
The Hyundai Rotem rolling stock of the Hyderabad

metro [29]
Met ro Rail Project was approved by Union government , in 2003.[30] As Hyderabad cont inued t o grow, t he Mult i-Modal Transport Syst em (MMTS) had
insufficient capacit y for public t ransport , and t he Union Minist ry of Urban Development approved const ruct ion of t he Hyderabad Met ro Rail Project ,
direct ing t he Delhi Met ro Rail Corporat ion t o conduct a survey of t he proposed lines and t o submit a Det ailed Project Report (DPR).[31] To meet rising
public t ransport needs and mit igat e growing road t raffic in t he t win cit ies of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, t he st at e government and t he Sout h Cent ral
Railway joint ly launched t he MMTS in August 2005.[32][33] The init ial plan was for t he Met ro t o connect wit h t he exist ing MMTS t o provide commut ers wit h
alt ernat e modes of t ransport . Simult aneously, t he proposals for t aking up t he const ruct ion of MMTS Phase II were also t aken forward.[34]
In 2007, N. V. S. Reddy was appoint ed Managing Direct or of Hyderabad Met ro Rail Limit ed,[35] and t he same year, Cent ral Government approved financial
assist ance of ₹ 1639 crore under a Viabilit y Gap Funding (VGF) scheme.[36] The opt ion of an underground met ro syst em in Hyderabad was ruled out by L&T
due t o t he presence of hard rocks, boulders and t he t opography of t he soil in Hyderabad.[37] Hyderabad Met ro init ially began under t he Andhra Pradesh
Municipal Tramways (Const ruct ion, Operat ion and Maint enance) Act , 2008[38] and lat er on, it came under t he Cent ral Met ro Act which permit t ed revision of
fares.[39] On 26 March 2018, t he Government of Telangana announced t hat it would set up an SPV "Hyderabad Airport Met ro Limit ed (HAML)", joint ly
promot ed by HMRL and HMDA, t o ext end t he Blue line from Raidurg t o Rajiv Gandhi Int ernat ional Airport , Shamshabad, under Phase II aft er t he complet ion
of Phase I in 2020.
Initial bidding
The bidding process was complet ed by July 2008 and awarded t o Mayt as,[40] which failed t o achieve financial closure for t he project as per schedule by
March 2009.
Re-bidding
The St at e government cancelled t he cont ract and called for a fresh rebidding for t he project . In t he July 2010 rebidding process, Larsen & Toubro (L&T)
emerged as t he lowest bidder for t he ₹121.32 billion (US$1.5 billion) project .[41] L&T came forward t o t ake up t he work for about ₹14.58 billion
(US$180 million) as viabilit y gap funding as against t he sanct ioned ₹48.53 billion (US$610 million). The Nallari Kiran Kumar Reddy government proact ively
pursued t he project , but it was delayed due t o separat e st at e agit at ion and lat er due t o t he apprehensions of t he new government . A consort ium of 10
banks led by St at e Bank of India sanct ioned t he ent ire debt requirement of Hyderabad Met ro project , which was t he largest fund t ie-up in India for a non-
power infrast ruct ure Public-privat e part nership (PPP) project at t hat t ime.[42]

Groundbreaking (Bhoomi Puja) for the project was conducted on
26 April 2012[44] the concessionaire started the pillar erection on
the same day for Stage-I and on 6 June 2012 for Stage-II.[45] The
work for Corridor 2 has been delayed due to traders in Koti and
Sultan Bazar demanding realignment of the route to safeguard
traders and old age heritage markets.[46] If the recent bill
proposed in Parliament which allows construction within a 100-
metre (330 ft) radius of heritage structures and sites of historical
or archaeological importance is passed, Metro might receive a
chance as it helps to connect the Old city with IT corridor.[47]
The construction of the entire 71.16 km (44.22 mi) has been split
into 6 stages with the first stage originally scheduled to be
completed by March 2015[48][49]
In November 2013, L&T Hyderabad Metro started laying of rails on
the metro viaduct between Nagole and Mettuguda, a stretch of
