The Hyderabad Metro is a rapid transit system, serving the city of Hyderabad, Telangana, India.[7][8] It is the second longest operational metro network in India after the Delhi Metro (285 stations) with 57 stations[9][10] and the lines are arranged in a secant model. It is funded by a public–private partnership (PPP),[11][12] with the state government holding a minority equity stake.[13] A special purpose vehicle company, L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad Ltd (L&TMRHL), was established by the construction company L&T[14][15] to develop the Hyderabad metro rail project.[16][17] Hyderabad Metro is the world's largest elevated Metro Rail system based on DBFOT basis (Design, Built, Finance, Operate and Transfer).[18]

A 30-kilometre (19 mi) stretch from Miyapur to Nagole, with 24 stations, was inaugurated on 28 November 2017 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.[19][20] This was the longest rapid transit metro line opened in one go in India.[21][22] It is estimated to cost ₹18,800 crore (US$2.3 billion). As of February 2020, about 490,000 people use the Metro per day.[23] Trains are crowded during the morning and evening rush hours.[24] A ladies only coach was introduced on all the trains from 7 May 2018.[25]

History

The Hyundai Rotem rolling stock of the Hyderabad metro [26]

Metro Rail Project was approved by Union government, in 2003.[27] As Hyderabad continued to grow, the Multi-Modal Transport System (MMTS) had insufficient capacity for public transport, and the Union Ministry of Urban Development approved construction of the Hyderabad Metro Rail Project, directing the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation to conduct a survey of the proposed lines and to submit a Detailed Project Report (DPR).[28] To meet rising public transport needs and mitigate growing road traffic in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, the state government and the South Central Railway jointly launched the MMTS in August 2003.[29][30] The initial plan was for the Metro to connect with the existing MMTS to provide commuters with alternate modes of transport. Simultaneously, the proposals for taking up the construction of MMTS Phase II were also taken forward.[31]

In 2007, N. V. S. Reddy was appointed Managing Director of Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited,[32] and the same year, Central Government approved financial assistance of ₹ 1639 crore under a Viability Gap Funding (VGF) scheme.[33] The option of an underground metro system in Hyderabad was ruled out by L&T due to the presence of hard rocks, boulders and the topography of the soil in Hyderabad.[34] Hyderabad Metro initially began under the Andhra Pradesh Municipal Tramways (Construction, Operation and Maintenance) Act, 2008[35] and later on, it came under the Central Metro Act which permitted revision of fares.[36] On 26 March 2018, the Government of Telangana announced that it would set up an SPV "Hyderabad Airport Metro Limited (HAML)", jointly promoted by HMRL and HMDA, to extend the Blue line from Raidurg to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Shamshabad, under Phase II after the completion of Phase I in 2020.

Initial bidding

The bidding process was completed by July 2008 and awarded to Maytas,[37] which failed to achieve financial closure for the project as per schedule by March 2009.

Re-bidding

The State government cancelled the contract and called for a fresh rebidding for the project. In the July 2010 rebidding process, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) emerged as the lowest bidder for the ₹121.32 billion (US$1.5 billion) project.[38] L&T came forward to take up the work for about ₹14.58 billion (US$170 million) as viability gap funding as against the sanctioned ₹48.53 billion (US$580 million). The Nallari Kiran Kumar Reddy government proactively pursued the project, but it was delayed due to separate state agitation and later due to the apprehensions of the new government.

Mascot

The mascot of Hyderabad Metro Rail is Niz. It was derived from the word Nizam, who ruled the princely state of Hyderabad.[39]

Construction milestones

A view of the Hyderabad metro towards HITEC City
  • Groundbreaking (Bhoomi Puja) for the project was conducted on 26 April 2012[40] the concessionaire started the pillar erection on the same day for Stage-I and on 6 June 2012 for Stage-II.[41] 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.[42] If the recent bill proposed in Parliament which allows construction within a 100-metre 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.[43]
  • The construction of the entire 71.16 km has been split into 6 stages with the first stage originally scheduled to be completed by March 2015[44][45]
  • In November 2013, L&T Hyderabad Metro started laying of rails on the metro viaduct between Nagole and Mettuguda, a stretch of 8 km.[46]
  • The first highly sophisticated train of the Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) came from Korea during the third week of May 2014. Stringent trial runs commenced from June 2014 till February 2015.[47] The trial runs started on the Miyapur to Sanjeeva Reddy Nagar stretch in October 2015.
Raidurg metro station near Raheja Mindspace
  • CMRS inspection for Stage-II (Miyapur and S.R.Nagar Section) was done on 9, 10 August 2016.[48]
  • The steel bridge of the HMR was successfully placed over the Oliphant bridge in August 2017.[49][50]
  • In November 2017, Commissioner of Railway Safety (CMRS) granted safety approval for 12 km stretch from Miyapur to SR Nagar, 10 km stretch from SR Nagar to Mettuguda and 8 km stretch from Nagole to Mettuguda.[51]
  • 16-km Ameerpet - LB Nagar Metro stretch was opened for commercial operations from 24 September 2018.[52]
  • The Ameerpet - HITEC City route was opened on conditional basis on 20 March 2019. The reversal facility after HITEC City metro station was started on 20 August 2019.[53]
  • On 19 May 2019, the construction of all the 2,599 pillars for the 66.5-km Hyderabad Metro rail (except the 5.5-km stretch in old city) was completed.[54][55]
  • The Green Line Corridor from Jubilee Bus Station to Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station was issued the Safety Certificate by the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety and inauguration of services on the section was done on 7 February 2020 by the Chief Minister of Telangana, K. Chandrashekar Rao.[citation needed]

Main article: List of Hyderabad Metro stations

Currently, the Hyderabad Metro has 56 stations. Phase I of the Hyderabad metro has 64 stations; they have escalators and elevators to reach the stations, announcement boards and electronic display systems. The stations also have service roads underneath them to for other public transportation systems to drop-off and pick-up passengers.[56] The signboards of Hyderabad Metro are displayed in Telugu, English, Hindi and Urdu at metro stations.[57]

Otis Elevator Company supplied and maintains the 670 elevators in use on the system.[58]

In May 2018, L&T Metro Rail signed a contract with Powergrid Corporation of India to install electric vehicle charging facilities at all metro stations beginning with Miyapur and Dr. B R Ambedkar Balanagar stations.[59][60] L&THMRL has set up free wifi access units for commuters at Miyapur, Ameerpet and Nagole metro stations, in association with ACT Fibernet, as part of a pilot project.[61][62] Metro Rail Phase II expansion plan is for about 85 km.[63] In April 2019, K. T. Rama Rao said that 200 kilometres (120 mi) of metro rail was planned for Hyderabad, with metro along entire Outer Ring Road.[64] All metro corridors are scheduled to terminate at Shamshabad, near Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, as planned in Hyderabad Metro Rail Phase-II.[65] In August 2019, KT Rama Rao said that state cabinet has approved the Hyderabad Metro Airport Express Link from Raidurg to the airport.[66]

Phase I

Phase I of the project includes 3 lines covering a distance of around 72 kilometres (45 mi). The metro rail line between Nagole and Secunderabad was originally scheduled open by December 2015; it was partly opened on 29 November 2017 and the entire 67 km phase 1 completed in 2020 .[68] Earlier in 2010, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen suggested an alternate route for metro in the old city through Purana pul, Muslimjung, Bahadurpura, Zoo Park, Tadbun junction, Kalapathar, Misrigunj and Shamsheergunj to Falaknuma.[69][70][71] However, this 7.4 kilometres (4.6 mi) route was not accepted. The eastern parts of the old city have access to the metro via the Malakpet metro station.[72] A 5.5 kilometres (3.4 mi)-long green line in the old city will pass through Dar-ul-Shifa, Salar Jung Museum, Charminar, Shah-Ali-Banda , Shamsheer Gunj , Jungametta and ends at Falaknuma.[73][74] In June 2022, Hyderabad Metro Rail started a fresh survey of the Old City route from MGBS for underground utilities.[75] The survey is through the Lidar, Global Positioning System and Inertial measurement unit and the plan is to build the elevated line alongside Musi river and centre of the road.

  • Line 1 - Red Line - Miyapur–LB Nagar - 29 km (18 mi) 27 stations
  • Line 2 - Green Line - JBS–Falaknuma 15 km (9.3 mi) 15 stations
  • Line 3 - Blue Line - Nagole–Raidurg - 28 km (17 mi) 24 stations

Note: Stage 4/2 MGBS–Falaknuma section (5.36 km) is also part of the initial phase I, but has been rumored that the state government might take up this section instead of L&T, but will be completed along with the phase I work. The Stage 3/2 HITEC City–Raidurg section (1.3 km) of Corridor III was not initial part of phase I, it was later on added by the newly elected state government. This section is opened on 29 November 2019.

Phase II

The Government is planning second phase of metro rail extending further.[76] The construction of Phase II will be taken up solely by the state government, instead of public–private partnership (PPP) mode in Phase I.[77] Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) was entrusted to give a detailed project report (DPR) for Phase II.[78][79] Metro Rail Phase II expansion plan is for about 63 km,[6][80] which includes providing link to Shamshabad RGI Airport.[81] In February 2020, Hyderabad Metro MD NVS Reddy said that three corridors are considered for phase 2. The DPR has been submitted to state government.[82][83]

In November 2022, Telangana government asked the Central Government to sanction the metro rail Phase-II, to be jointly owned by Telangana and the Centre (on the lines of MMTS) with external financial assistance.[84] Telangana government proposed metro rail connectivity for about 26 km from BHEL to Lakdikapul with 23 stations and extension of other stretch from Nagole to LB Nagar covering a distance of about 5 kms with 4 stations.[85] BHEL-Lakdikapul metro rail corridor is expected to pass through Miyapur, Raidurg, Khajaguda Junction, Mehdipatnam, Tolichowki and Masab tank areas. Telanagana Government has asked Central Government to sanction ₹8,453 crore (US$1.0 billion) for metro works in the upcoming union budget for 2023-24.[86] For implementing the project, detailed project reports (DPRs) have already been prepared by the state government with the help of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). The reports have been sent to the Centre. Also the Hyderabad airport metro limited and HMDA will build an elevated Hyderabad Bus Rapid Transit System between Kokapet neopolis and KPHB Colony metro station covering 20kms [87]

Hyderabad Airport Metro Express

Main article: Hyderabad Airport Metro Express

On 26 March 2018, a special purpose vehicle company, Hyderabad Airport Metro Limited (HAML), was established by Government of Telangana to develop the Hyderabad Airport Metro Express.[88][89] HMRL Managing Director N.V.S. Reddy (Venkatsatyanarayan Reddy Nallamilli) is also Managing Director of HAML, which is jointly promoted by HMRL and HMDA. In August 2019, TRS Working President, Minister for Municipal Administration & Urban Development, Industries and IT&C K. T. Rama Rao said that the work on Hyderabad Metro Airport Express from Raheja Mindspace to Shamshabad RGI Airport will start soon.[90] The alignment to Shamshabad RGI Airport from the Raidurg metro station will be through new Khajaguda Link Road (Beside CARE Hospitals) via Diamond Hills, instead of Gachibowli ORR entrance. The 31 km-long Hyderabad Metro Airport Express link will cost around ₹ 5000 crore.[91] In March 2021, Government of Telangana allocated ₹ 1,000 crore for Hyderabad Metro Rail Ltd in the 2021-2022 state budget.[92][93] In September 2021, GMR Group, the company operating the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) in Hyderabad said that it will invest ₹ 519.52 crore towards metro connectivity at the airport.[94][95]

In March 2022, Government of Telangana allocated ₹ 2,377.35 crore to the Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) in the 2022-2023 state budget. The Government of Telangana announced funds worth ₹ 1,500 crore for the Hyderabad Metro Rail for taking up land acquisition, preparation of detailed project reports and other developmental work, ₹ 377.35 crore for Airport Metro connectivity[96] and ₹ 500 crore for Metro connectivity to the old city (for initiating Corridor II- Green Line works from MGBS to Falaknuma; 5.5km).[97][98] The 31-km Airport Express Metro Corridor is proposed to have 27-km elevated, 1 km on ground and a 2.5-km underground section to connect to the airport terminal.[99] The airport route will have 9 elevated stations and one underground station.[100] From Raidurg Metro terminal station, it will pass through Khajaguda Junction, touching Outer Ring Road at Nanakramguda junction, traverse along ORR to Shamshabad Airport through the existing dedicated Metro Rail Right-of-Way.[101][102] Chief Minister of Telangana K. Chandrashekar Rao will be laying the foundation stone for Hyderabad Metro Airport Express on 9 December 2022.[103][104] It will be built at an approximate cost of ₹6,250 crore (US$750 million).[105] Hyderabad Airport Express Metro is a Telangana State Government funded project and will be completed by end of 2025.

Lines

Blue line of Hyderabad metro

Since the first version of the plans, the three corridors mostly remained the same, but minor changes were introduced. These include the lack of stop at Lalaguda, or a stop at Lakdikapul instead of Secretariat. Also, the lines have been marked with several different combination of color.[106] Ameerpet- LB Nagar metro stretch opened on 24 September 2018.[107] HiTec City to Raidurg, 1.5-kilometre stretch on Corridor Three - Nagole to Raidurg, is opened on 29 November 2019,[108][109] as it involves construction of 49 pillars and the Raidurg terminal station.[110]

Finances

The Hyderabad metro is a Public–private partnership project, the total cost of this transport systems is US$ 3.07 billion which is shared by both Larsen & Toubro (90%) Government of Telangana (10%).[111] In July 2022, L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad Limited came up with a unique concept of ‘Office Bubbles’ wherein it will offer remote, co-working spaces as part of its Transit-oriented development (ToD). The L&T Hyderabad Metro organisation is offering 1,750 sq. ft. space with two units each in 49 Metro stations across the three corridors and another 5,000-30,000 sq. ft. in eight other Metro stations.[112] Focusing on IT companies, Office Bubbles concept offers Spoke–hub distribution paradigm.[113]

In Hyderabad Metro, 40 per cent of the retail space was sold even before the metro stations were built to generate non-fare revenue.[114] L&TMRHL built real- estate projects like Next Galleria malls in Panjagutta, Irrum Manzil, Hitech City and Musarambagh with skywalks,[115] for generating non-fare revenues under Transit-oriented development (TOD).[17][116][117] In 2019, Hyderabad Metro started a semi-naming policy of metro stations, awarded through an open e-tendering process, to generate non-fare revenues.[citation needed]

Depots

Hyderabad Metro currently has 2 operational depots.[118] Miyapur and Uppal depot land is 100 acres each.[119][120] The proposed Falaknuma depot will be constructed in 17 acres.

Ridership

JBS Parade Ground metro station

The Metro has opened to overwhelming response, with over 200,000 people using it on Day 1.[121] On the first Sunday of operations, the Metro was used by 240,000 people.[122] As of 2020, the daily ridership is about 490,000. Although there was hiccups in the beginning of operations in 2017 with meager ridership of 100,000 per day, opening the new lines to LB Nagar and Hi-Tech city in 2018–19, ridership has surged and reached milestones from 2 to 4 lakhs in very short duration.[123]

Trains are initially being operated at a frequency of 3 minutes in very peak hours and every 5 minutes in peak hours (between Miyapur-LB Nagar) and 4 minutes in peak hours (between Hi-Tec City/ Ameerpet-Nagole),[124] though maximum achievable frequency is every 90 seconds. Similarly, three-car trains are being used currently, though it is planned to use six-car trains in the future.[125]

In December 2017, Hyderabad Metro Rail launched its mobile app, TSavaari.[126][127] Hyderabad Metro timings are available on T-Savari app.[128] Ola Cabs and Uber tied up its services with app.[129]

In May 2022, Hyderabad Metro Managing Director N.V.S. Reddy ruled out possibility of attaching one single or double coach to three-coach train sets.[130][131] Each three-coach train can take between 900-1,000 passengers per trip[132] and the project has been envisaged in such a manner that another three-coach set rake can be attached to make them into six-coach trains with the stations/depots too already planned for the increased length of the trains.[133] L&T Metro Rail has been using 53 train sets of three coaches each with four three-coach sets under repair or maintenance undertaken using special software based on Internet of Things. Hyderabad Metro Rail crossed 100 million cumulative ridership milestone in just 671 days.[citation needed]

Last-mile connectivity

In order to enhance first and last mile connectivity of Hyderabad Metro Rail, Svida Mobility Pvt Ltd, an urban mobility services startup signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad Limited (L&TMRHL) with plans to scale up their feeder vehicle services.[134] Svida offers services via a robust AI-enabled tech platform, which provides the booking of feeder vehicles. Svida Mobility Pvt Ltd is L&TMRHL authorised feeder service provider since 2019.[135] The first and last mile connectivity routes, across seven metro stations - Raidurg, Parade ground, Mettuguda, LB Nagar, Uppal, KPHB and Miyapur- use e-Autos and Tata wingers. On 21 April 2022, Hyderabad metro launched its electric auto services in collaboration with AI-enabled ride-hailing mobility platform MetroRide.[136][137] The services were launched at two metro stations - Parade Grounds and Raidurg Stations.[138][139]

The initial official estimated cost of the 72 km long Metro project stood at ₹14,132 crore (US$1.7 billion). The State Government decided to bear 10% of it, while L&T was to bear the remaining 90% of the cost.[140][141] The construction work which was supposed to commence on 3 March 2011 commenced in 2012. In March 2012, the cost of the project was revised upwards to ₹15,957 crore (US$1.9 billion).[142] This has been further revised upwards to ₹18,800 crore (US$2.3 billion) (as of November 2017).[24]

The 71.3 km standard-gauge network will feature ballastless track throughout and will be electrified at 25 kV AC 50 Hz. An operations control centre and depot are constructed at Uppal. At some places, a flyover, underpass and metro has been constructed at the same place, as part of Strategic road development plan (SRDP).[143]

CBTC Technology

At the end of 2012, L&T Metro Rail awarded Thales a ₹7.4 billion ($US 134m) contract to provide CBTC and integrated telecommunications and supervision systems on all three lines.
