The Hyderabad Metro (Telugu: హైదరాబాద్ మెట్రో, Urdu: حیدرآباد میٹرو) is a mass rapid transit system being constructed for the city of Hyderabad, India.

The Phase I of the project includes 3 lines covering a distance of around 71 km. The metro rail stretches between Nagole and Mettuguda (8 km) and between Miyapur and Ameerpet (12 km) are targeted to be operational by December 2014.

Project history and status

Soil testing in progress on Line-3 of Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR)

Phase-1 of the Project was approved by the Union Government in April 2008 under Public-Private Partnership, with the risks as envisaged been overlooked.

The total length of the first-phase after final revision is 71 km.

Maytas corruption scandal

The bidding process was completed by July 2008, the bid being awarded to a consortium led by Maytas Metro. Following the Satyam controversy in December 2008, Maytas failed to achieve financial closure for the project as per schedule in March 2009 and urged the government to extend the deadline by six months. In July 2009, the Andhra Pradesh Government canceled the contract to Maytas and called for fresh bids for the project.

Current status

In the July-2010 rebidding process, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) emerged as the lowest bidder for the Rs. 12,132-crore project. L&T came forward to take up the work for about Rs. 1,458 crore as viability gap funding as against the sanctioned Rs. 4,853 crore.

As on end August, 2011, the soil investigation on all the corridors have been completed. L&T, the concessionaire has started the pillar erection on 31 Aug, 2011 in corridor #3 between Nagole and Uppal. The roads en route the Corridor #1 and #3 are ready for pillar erection except the Corridor #2 which has been held due to traders in Koti and Sultan Bazar demanding realignment of the route to safeguard traders and age old heritage markets.

Bhoomi Pooja for the project was conducted on the 26 April 2012 to kick off the construction phase of the project. The construction of the entire 71.16 KM has been split into 6 stages with the first stage scheduled to be completed by the end of 2014 with the entire project scheduled to be completed by 2016.

Cost

The official estimated cost of the project stands at ₹14, 132 crore. However, construction work was supposed to commence on 3 March 2011. Since the project has already been delayed by a year, the interest component has accumulated to ₹1,825 crore. As a result, the final current cost (as of March 2012) of the project stands at ₹15, 957 crore.
