However, the proposal does not include any double-decker systems. Earlier, there were plars to install double-decker pillars on the JB5-Shamirpet and JBS-Medchal routes, with the idea of having roads on one level and the metro on the second. However, since this would require building stations at very high elevations, Hyderabad Airport Metro Limited (HAML) expressed concems. As a result, the DPR has now been prepared for a single-decker metro project, similar to the first phase
Metro Route No-1
The government has proposed the first metro route from Secunderabad Jubilee Bus Station (JBS) to Medchal. This route will cover a total of 22 kilometres, passing through areas such as JBS, Kashara, Alwal, Hakimpet, Thumkunta, and Shamshabad. Since the Hakimpet Air Force Station runway is located adjacent to the main road. the defence agency raised objections regarding the elevated metro rail. As a result, the metro is now proposed to run underground for approximately 1.5 kilometres in this area. A special design has been created for the metro to pass under the runway.

This route will span a total of 24.5 kilometres, passing through arms like Tadbound, Bowenpally, Suchitra, and Kompally, eventually reaching Medchal. Due to restrictions imposed by the Airport Authority, the design for this route, including the Shamshabad track, has been modified to ensure that the metro runs at a lower height than the existing corridor from JBS. In line with Chief Minister Revanth Reddy's suggestiom to develop JBS as an international-level hub, the metro alignment has been finalised.

The design includes an underground metro station at the airport terminal, with the metro traveling elevated up to Raviryala ORR. From there, the metro will travel along a newly proposed Greenfield road for 18 kilometres on the ground. The Detailed Project Report (DPR) for this project has been finalized, which includes 2 kilometres underground, 6 kilometres elevated through the airport, 14 kilometres elevated along
the ORR, and 18 kilometres of ground-level metro slong the Greenfield nad This metro project will enable passengers to travel from Shamshabad international Airport to Future City in just 40 m In addition to the metro corridor, the developement of Greenfield roads and the Regional Ring Road (RRR) is expected to significantly mhance the ares's infrastructure. This ambitious project aims to create a seamless connection between the airport and Future City, contributing to the region's overall development,
