The Hyderabad Multi-Modal Transport System, also known as MMTS, is a suburban rail system in Hyderabad, India. It is a joint partnership of the Government of Telangana (previously the Government of United Andhra Pradesh) and the South Central Railway, and is operated by the latter. The first phase was opened to the public on 9th August 2003 with three lines between Falaknuma and Secunderabad, Hyderabad and Secunderabad and Lingampally and Secunderabad with a total of 44 km of track. In May 2010, Indian Railways decided to take up the 107-km Phase-II project of the MMTS at an estimated cost of Rs. 641 crore. The Railway Board cleared the second phase after the state government agreed to fund two-thirds of the cost. The second phase, which is currently under construction, is scheduled to open in 2018.
Phase I
The first phase was completed at a cost of ₹1.78 billion (US$21 million) and started its operations on 9 August 2003 by then Deputy Prime Minister of India, L. K. Advani & united Andhra Pradesh CM N. Chandrababu Naidu. The Chief Minister said the inauguration of the MMTS was the realisation of dream of having a mass transit system in Hyderabad. This project is expected to complement the fast growth of the city in the areas of information technology, biotechnology, health, aviation and tourism.
