Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has directed officials to speed up the Hyderabad Metro Rail Phase-2 works in the Old City. He asked officials to begin the tender process for the proposed metro corridor as soon as possible.
Hyderabad Metro Phase II Corridor
The planned corridor will cover around 7.5 km between Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station (MGBS) and Chandrayangutta. During a review meeting with officials of Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL), the Chief Minister asked them to complete road-widening work along this route quickly. He also instructed officials to start the tender process for the metro construction without further delay.
Revanth Reddy also asked officials to seek technical assistance from Delhi Metro to decide which technology would be most suitable for the 7.5-km corridor. He reviewed the status of land acquisition and directed officials to complete the pending process at the earliest. The government also plans to finalise the metro expansion plans soon.
The Chief Minister noted that the number of passengers using Hyderabad Metro has increased steadily. He said steps should be taken to manage the growing passenger demand and avoid overcrowding. Officials were therefore asked to arrange for additional metro coaches.
The meeting also covered preparations for the upcoming Invest Telangana Global Summit, which is scheduled for December. Revanth Reddy directed officials to ensure that the event is organised to international standards and successfully attracts investments from companies across the world.
Officials discussed arrangements for the summit and plans to recognise prominent personalities from different business sectors. The Chief Minister also asked officials to prepare a detailed report on the investments attracted and progress achieved after last year's summit.
He instructed the officials to use the upcoming summit as an opportunity to attract more investments to Telangana and prepare a clear strategy to achieve better results.
