Hyderabad Metro History

The idea of establishing a metro system in Hyderabad was first proposed in 2003. The project aimed to address the increasing traffic congestion and transportation needs of the growing city.

  • The Hyderabad Metro Rail project was officially started on 29th November 2017. It was inaugurated by the Honorable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, along with the Chief Minister of Telangana, Shri K. Chandrashekar Rao. The inaugural ceremony took place at the Miyapur Metro Station in Hyderabad.
  • The Hyderabad Metro Rail project was implemented by Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL), a public-private partnership between the Government of Telangana and L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited (LTMRHL), a subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro Limited.
  • The first phase of the Hyderabad Metro, which includes the Red Line and the Blue Line, became operational on the same day of its inauguration. The Red Line runs from Miyapur to LB Nagar, while the Blue Line connects Nagole to Raidurg.
