The Revanth government has announced that Hyderabad will move to the next level. The long-awaited second phase of the Metro has been announced. With development and the real estate sector already booming in the city, it is expected that once the second phase of the Metro is completed, the sky will be the limit for growth.
The Hyderabad Metro, the world’s largest PPP-based metro rail project, is expanding in Phase 2.
The work is divided into Plan A and Plan B. Plan A includes 5 corridors covering 76.4 km, while Plan B adds a single 40 km corridor. Metro services are already operational in Corridors 1, 2, and 3. In Phase 2, Corridor 4 will link Nagole to Shamshabad Airport (36.8 km), Corridor 5 will connect Raidurg to Kokapet Neopolis (11.6 km), Corridor 6 will extend from MG Bus Station to Chandrayangutta (7.5 km), Corridor 7 will cover Miyapur to Patancheru (13.4 km), and Corridor 8 will run from LB Nagar to Hayathnagar (7.1 km). Part-B’s Corridor 9 will connect Rajiv Gandhi International Airport to Skill University (40 km).
The Metro has transformed Hyderabad’s real estate market. Phase 1 was a success, but the previous government delayed Phase 2. Now, the Revanth government has announced it, covering 116.4 km. All Phase 2 routes are extensions of Phase 1, offering expanded Metro services from Hayathnagar to Patancheru and the Airport.
A total of 22 stations, including LB Nagar, Mailan Devupalli, Jalpalli, and Shamshabad Airport, are proposed. Areas along the Vijayawada, Mumbai, and Bangalore National Highways, as well as from Shamshabad to Fourth City, are set for a real estate boom. Residential construction is already underway in Metro Phase 2 areas. Despite concerns over limited infrastructure and transportation, developers are now excited about the announcement. Improved transport is expected to attract middle and upper-middle-class buyers, with increased future investment purchases. This has generated widespread anticipation for the start of Metro construction.
