Hyderabad Metro鈥檚 Phase 2 expansion will cover 76.4 km across five corridors, down from the originally planned 116.4 km, with the proposed fourth-city connectivity of 40 km temporarily shelved. Hyderabad Airport Metro Limited (HAML) Managing Director NVS Reddy emphasized that the revised plan aligns with immediate urban mobility needs. Key Highlights: Initial Corridors: The project will prioritize the 7.5-km Old City corridor expansion from MBGS to Chandrayangutta, with land acquisition and demolition works scheduled to begin by the end of 2024. Construction Innovations: The phase will adopt 鈥榙ouble U鈥� girders for faster construction compared to phase 1's box girders. Double-Decker Flyover: Hyderabad鈥檚 first double-decker viaduct鈥攁 1.6 km stretch near Madinaguda鈥攚ill integrate Metro and road traffic solutions. Challenges: The northern corridor lacks the Union government鈥檚 90% right-of-way requirement, delaying connectivity to Medchal. Financial Model: The project transitions from a PPP model, which imposed a ?1,300 crore annual interest burden, to a joint-venture (JV) model with funds at 2% interest and a 40-year repayment window. Once complete, the expansion is expected to serve eight lakh passengers daily, significantly boosting Hyderabad's urban mobility network.
