System map

Hyderabad Metro is a rapid transit system, serving the city of Hyderabad.[4] It is in Secant Operational model. It is being implemented entirely on public-private partnership (PPP) basis,[5] with the state government holding a minority equity stake.[6] The 30 km stretch from Miyapur to Nagole, having 24 stations was inaugurated on 28 November 2017 at around 2:15 pm by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi.[7][8] No other rapid transit metro service in India opened for public operations on such a long stretch of 30 kms.[9][10] It is estimated to cost Rs. 15,000 crore[11].

History

L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad Limited is the Concessionaire for this Project. They are responsible for construction, operation and maintenance of this Project which is built on PPP Basis.

Background

To respond to the rising public transport needs and mitigate escalating vehicular traffic in the twin-cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh Government and the South Central Railway zone jointly launched the Multi Modal Transport System (MMTS) in August 2003.[12] This Rs. 167 crores worth transport system, 50 percent[12] of which was financed by the State Government and the remaining by the Central Government, used the already existing rail lines of the Indian Railways[13] in and around Hyderabad making it a highly cost effective one. However, within months of starting of its operation, it became apparent that it has been met with poor response.[14] The reasons for this dismal response include poor punctuality of trains, lack of dedicated tracks for MMTS services, and absence of feeder bus services limiting the network's reach.[15]

Though the ridership of the MMTS has increased over the years, the failure in augmentation of the services in line with the increasing ridership has led to its unpopularity among 150,000[16] passengers who avail the services daily. This notwithstanding, the Union Ministry of Urban Development, in October 2003, gave its nod for the Hyderabad Metro Rail Project and directed the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation to conduct a survey on the project.[14] Involving an investment of over Rs.4000 crores, this project was seen necessary in view that the population of Hyderabad was forecasted to reach 13.6 million by the year 2021.[14] According to the initial plan, the metro was to be connected with the already 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.[13] Like Delhi, Hyderabad's metro project is ambitious in scope and swift in execution. Following a construction period of just five years, the first phase, comprising three lines totalling 71 km with 66 stations will be completed in 2017. It is also a technical pioneer, bringing CBTC to an Indian city for the first time.[17]

Mascot

The mascot of Hyderabad Metro Rail is Niz. It was derived from the word Nizam, who ruled the princely state of Hyderabad.[18]

Awards and nominations

HMR project was showcased as one of the top 100 strategic global infrastructure projects at the Global Infrastructure Leadership Forum held in New York during February–March 2013.[19] [20]

L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad Limited (LTMRHL) has been conferred the SAP ACE Award 2015 in the 'Strategic HR and Talent Management[21]' category.

Construction Phases

The construction work will be undertaken in two phases. There are six stages of completion in Phase I.

Phase I

The Phase I of the project includes 3 lines covering a distance of around 66.56 km. The metro rail stretches between Nagole and Secunderabad 11 km originally scheduled to be operational by December 2015, is now planned to be operational from December 2017. The entire 66.56 km 57-station first phase is due to be completed by December 2017.

  • Line 1 - Red Line - Miyapur – L B Nagar - 29.21 km (18.15 mi)
  • Line 2 - Green Line - JBS – MGBS - 10.06 km (6.25 mi)
  • Line 3 - Blue Line - Nagole – Shilparamam - 27.29 km (16.96 mi)
Proposed new lines and extensions to existing lines – under Phase II

Raidurgam–Gachibowli –Shamshabad RGI Airport 28 km (17 mi) Line IV
Tarnaka –ECIL 'X' Roads 7 km (4.3 mi) Line V

Initial Bidding

The bidding process was completed by July 2008 and awarded to Maytas which failed to achieve financial closure for the project as per schedule By March 2009. In July 2009, the Andhra Pradesh Government canceled the contract and called for fresh bids for the project.

Re-bidding

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. 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).

Construction stage

Groundbreaking (Bhoomi Puja) for the project was conducted on 26 April 2012[23] the concessionaire started the pillar erection on the same day for Stage-I and on 6 June 2012 for Stage-II.[24] 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.[25]

Current status

As of July 2015, construction on Line 3 is 96% completed, with the construction of the Nagole depot almost over, laying of overhead traction lines started, and trial runs of the trains started. For Line 1, the construction of pillars is completed except on stretches from Moazzam Jahi Market to Khairatabad, and via duct construction is in full swing.

The construction of the entire 71.16 km has been split into 6 stages with the first stage scheduled to be completed by March 2015[26][27] with the entire project scheduled to be completed by July 2017.[28][29]

In November 2013, L&T Hyderabad Metro started laying of rails on the metro viaduct between Nagole and Mettuguda, a stretch of 8 km.[30] Hyderabad Metro Rail will provide disabled-friendly system.[31][32]

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.[33]

The trial runs have started on the Miyapur to Sanjeeva Reddy Nagar stretch in October 2015.

CMRS inspection for Stage-II (Miyapur and S.R.Nagar Section) was done on 9, 10 August 2016.[34] Three interchanges are planned at Mahatma Gandhi Bus Terminus, Parade Grounds and Ameerpet.[35]

The interchange station MGBS (Mahatma Gandhi Bus Terminus) construction works is progressing at very fast pace.[36]

The line between Lakdi ka pul and Nampally will pass through the original alignment. There was uncertainty about this stretch, whether to pass in front or back of the Assembly.

The steel bridge of the HMR has been successfully placed over the Oliphant bridge.[37][38]

In 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.[39]

Reception

The Metro has opened to overwhelming response with over 2 lakh people using it on the inaugural day. 1.5 lakh people are expected to use the service daily in the coming months.[44]

Cost

The initial official estimated cost of the 72 km long Metro project stood at ₹14,132 crore (US$1.7 billion). The Central Government decided to bear 10% of it, while L&T was to bear the remaining 90% of the cost.[28][45] 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).[46]. This has further revised upwards to ₹18,800 crore (US$2.3 billion) (as of November 2017).[47]

Infrastructure

The 71.3 km standard-gauge network will feature ballastless track throughout and will be electrified at 25kV ac 50 Hz. An operations control centre and depot are being constructed at Uppal.

CBTC Technology

At the end of 2012, L&T Metro Rail awarded Thales a Rs 7.4bn ($US 134m) contract to provide CBTC and integrated telecommunications and supervision systems on all three lines. Thales will supply its SelTrac CBTC technology, and trains will initially run in automatic train operation mode with minimum headways of 90 seconds, although the system will support eventual migration to unattended train operation (UTO)[48].

Rolling stock

On 12 September 2012, Larsen and Toubro Metro Rail Hyderabad Ltd (LTMRHL) announced that it has awarded tender for supply of rolling stock to Hyundai Rotem.[49][50] The ₹18 billion (US$220 million) tender is for 57 trains consisting of 171 cars which will be delivered in phases at least 9 months before the commencement of each stage.[51][52] On 2 October 2013, LTMRHL unveiled its train car for Hyderabad Metro. A model coach which is half the size of the actual coach, was on public display at Necklace Road on the banks of Hussain Sagar in the heart of Hyderabad.[53] The trains will be 3.2m wide and 4m high.[54] There will be 4 doors on each side of each coach.[54]

On 10 April 2014, the first metro train for HMR rolled out of Hyundai Rotem factory at Changwon in South Korea and reached Hyderabad in May 2014.[55] On 31 December 2014, Hyderabad Metro Rail successfully conducted a training run in Automatic Train Operation (ATO) mode for the first time between Nagole and Mettuguda.[56]

Ticketing

The L&T Hyderabad project will have an automated ticketing system with features such as contactless smart card based ticketing, slim automatic gates, payment by cash and credit/debit card, passenger operated ticket vending machine and provision of common ticketing system. It will also have a provision of NFC-based technology to enable usage of mobile phones as fare media and high performance machine to avoid long queues.[57] Samsung Data Systems India, a subsidiary of South Korean firm Samsung, has been awarded the automatic fare collection system package for the L&T metro rail project. The package involves design, manufacture, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of the system.[57][58]

  • The official ticket prices have been announced on 25th November 2017 with a base fare of ₹10 for upto 2 kms.

Stations

Hyderabad metro will have 67 stations in phase I. They will be provided with amenities such as escalators and elevators to reach the stations, announcement boards, electronic display systems among others for passengers. Commercial will also be provided on stations. Hyderabad metro stations will also have service roads underneath them to provide last mile connectivity by allowing other public transportation systems use it for dropping/picking passengers right in front of the stations and ensure uninterrupted traffic. Currently the service lane works are currently on at Nagole and Uppal stations.[59] The signboards of Hyderabad Metro are displayed in Telugu, English, Hindi and Urdu at metro stations.[60]

Otis Elevator Company of United States won the contract to supply and maintain 670 elevators.[61]
