Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has directed officials to complete the Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) of Hyderabad’s proposed Metro corridors by March end.
Addressing a review meeting held on Tuesday at his residence, he emphasized that the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport–Future City (40 km), JBS–Shamirpet (22 km) and Paradise–Medchal (23 km) Metro lines should secure Central approval and be ready for inviting tenders by April-end.
Revanth asked officials to speed up land acquisition for these Metro routes and ensure that the alignment plans account for future needs. In particular, he highlighted the need for comprehensive field assessments during the alignment process.
Regarding the Medchal corridor, the CM pointed out the necessity of integrating the Metro line with the existing three flyovers along the NH route to minimize disruptions.
The CM emphasized the development of a state-of-the-art integrated junction at the Shamirpet–Medchal Metro starting point. This junction, he said, should cater to both current demands and future expansion and should provide advanced facilities to reduce dependence on the city centre.
“Residents should not have to travel to the city for any necessity. The junction must offer all essential facilities,” he said and directed officials to prepare a detailed plan.
Revanth also urged the Hyderabad Growth Corridor Limited (HGCL) to take up the construction of radial roads under its purview. He emphasized the swift commencement of elevated corridors to address the city’s growing traffic needs, ensuring their design aligns with future infrastructure requirements.
The meeting was attended by senior officials like the Chief Minister’s Advisor Vem Narender Reddy, Infrastructure Advisor Srinivasa Raju, Special Secretary Ajit Reddy, Municipal Administration Principal Secretary Danakishore, Hyderabad Metro Rail MD NVS Reddy, HMDA Commissioner Sarfaraz Ahmed and Commissioner for Flagship Programmes Shashank.
