The Hyderabad Metro is a rapid transit system, serving the city of Hyderabad, Telangana, India.[1][2][3][4] It is the third longest operational metro network in India after Delhi Metro and Namma Metro (Bengaluru),[3][4] and the lines are arranged in a secant model. It is funded by a public–private partnership (PPP),[5][6] with the state government holding a minority equity stake.[7] Hyderabad Metro is the world's largest elevated Metro Rail system based on DBFOT basis (Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer).[8] A special purpose vehicle company, L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad Ltd (L&TMRHL), was established by the construction company L&T[9][10] to develop the Hyderabad metro rail project.[11][12]

A Шаблон:Convert stretch from Miyapur to Nagole, with 24 stations, was inaugurated on 28 November 2017 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.[13][14] This was the longest rapid transit metro line opened in one go in India.[15][16] It is estimated to cost Шаблон:INRConvert. As of February 2020, about 490,000 people use the Metro per day.[17] Trains are crowded during the morning and evening rush hours.[18] A ladies only coach was introduced on all the trains from 7 May 2018.[19] Post-COVID, 450,000 passengers were travelling on Hyderabad Metro daily on average by December 2022.[20] On 3 July 2023, Hyderabad Metro Rail achieved ridership clocking in at 0.51 million on that day.[21]

History

Файл:Hyderabad metro 2017.jpg

Metro Rail Project was approved by Union government, in 2003.[23] As Hyderabad continued to grow, the Multi-Modal Transport System (MMTS) had insufficient capacity for public transport, and the Union Ministry of Urban Development approved construction of the Hyderabad Metro Rail Project, directing the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation to conduct a survey of the proposed lines and to submit a Detailed Project Report (DPR).[24] To meet rising public transport needs and mitigate growing road traffic in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, the state government and the South Central Railway jointly launched the MMTS in August 2005.[25][26] The initial plan was for the Metro to connect with the 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.[27]

In 2007, N. V. S. Reddy was appointed Managing Director of Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited,[28] and the same year, Central Government approved financial assistance of Шаблон:INR 1639 crore under a Viability Gap Funding (VGF) scheme.[29] The option of an underground metro system in Hyderabad was ruled out by L&T due to the presence of hard rocks, boulders and the topography of the soil in Hyderabad.[30] Hyderabad Metro initially began under the Andhra Pradesh Municipal Tramways (Construction, Operation and Maintenance) Act, 2008[31] and later on, it came under the Central Metro Act which permitted revision of fares.[32] On 26 March 2018, the Government of Telangana announced that it would set up an SPV "Hyderabad Airport Metro Limited (HAML)", jointly promoted by HMRL and HMDA, to extend the Blue line from Raidurg to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Shamshabad, under Phase II after the completion of Phase I in 2020.

Initial bidding

The bidding process was completed by July 2008 and awarded to Maytas,[33] which failed to achieve financial closure for the project as per schedule by March 2009.

Re-bidding

The State government cancelled the contract and called for a fresh rebidding for the project. In the July 2010 rebidding process, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) emerged as the lowest bidder for the Шаблон:INRConvert project.[34] L&T came forward to take up the work for about Шаблон:INRConvert as viability gap funding as against the sanctioned Шаблон:INRConvert. The Nallari Kiran Kumar Reddy government proactively pursued the project, but it was delayed due to separate state agitation and later due to the apprehensions of the new government. A consortium of 10 banks led by State Bank of India sanctioned the entire debt requirement of Hyderabad Metro project, which was the largest fund tie-up in India for a non-power infrastructure Public-private partnership (PPP) project at that time.[35]

  • Groundbreaking (Bhoomi Puja) for the project was conducted on 26 April 2012[37] the concessionaire started the pillar erection on the same day for Stage-I and on 6 June 2012 for Stage-II.[38] 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.[39] If the recent bill proposed in Parliament which allows construction within a Шаблон:Convert radius of heritage structures and sites of historical or archaeological importance is passed, Metro might receive a chance as it helps to connect the Old city with IT corridor.[40]
  • The construction of the entire Шаблон:Cvt has been split into 6 stages with the first stage originally scheduled to be completed by March 2015[41][42]
  • In November 2013, L&T Hyderabad Metro started laying of rails on the metro viaduct between Nagole and Mettuguda, a stretch of .[43]
  • 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.[44] The trial runs started on the Miyapur to Sanjeeva Reddy Nagar stretch in October 2015.

Construction phases

Phase I

Phase I of the project includes 3 lines covering a distance of around Шаблон:Convert. The metro rail line between Nagole and Secunderabad was originally scheduled open by December 2015; it was partly opened on 29 November 2017 and the entire Шаблон:Cvt phase 1 completed in 2020.[53]

A 'Supplemental Concession Agreement' was signed between L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad and Government of Telangana, under which L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad was granted an interest free soft loan of Rs 100 crore.[54]

Note: Stage 4/2 MGBS–Falaknuma section (Шаблон:Cvt) is also part of the initial phase I, but has been rumored that the state government might take up this section instead of L&T, but will be completed along with the phase I work. The Stage 3/2 HITEC City–Raidurg section (Шаблон:Cvt) of Corridor III was not initial part of phase I, it was later on added by the newly elected state government. This section is opened on 29 November 2019.

Old city metro line

Earlier in 2010, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen suggested an alternate route for metro in the old city through Purana pul, Muslimjung, Bahadurpura, Zoo Park, Tadbun junction, Kalapathar, Misrigunj and Shamsheergunj to Falaknuma.[55][56][57] However, this Шаблон:Convert route was not accepted. The eastern parts of the old city have access to the metro via the Malakpet metro station.[58] A Шаблон:Convert-long green line in the old city will pass through Dar-ul-Shifa, Salar Jung Museum, Charminar, Shah-Ali-Banda , Shamsheer Gunj , Jungametta and ends at Falaknuma.[59][60] In June 2022, Hyderabad Metro Rail started a fresh survey of the Old City route from MGBS for underground utilities.[61] The survey is through the Lidar, Global Positioning System and Inertial measurement unit and the plan is to build the elevated line alongside Musi river and center of the road. In July 2023, Telangana Chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao instructed the municipal administration and L&T Chairman to take forward the metro project in old city.[62][63] On 16 July 2023, Hyderabad Metro MD NVS Reddy informed that preparatory works for taking up Metro Rail works in old city has started and land acquisition notices for 1,100 affected properties will be issued in about a month.[64][65] All the five metro stations in the old city will have 120-feet wide roads under the viaduct.[66][67] On 27 August 2023, Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited started a drone survey of the proposed rail alignment in the old city.[68][69][70][71]

Phase II

The Government of Telangana is planning second phase of metro rail covering 67.5 km, to cost Шаблон:INR 17,150 crore.[72][73] The construction of Phase II will be taken up solely by the state government, instead of public–private partnership (PPP) mode in Phase I.[74] Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) was entrusted to give a detailed project report (DPR) for Phase II.[75][76] Metro Rail Phase II expansion plan is for about Шаблон:Cvt,[77][78] which includes providing link to Shamshabad RGI Airport.[79] In February 2020, Hyderabad Metro MD NVS Reddy said that three corridors are considered for phase 2. The DPR has been submitted to state government.[80][81]

In November 2022, Telangana government asked the Central Government to sanction the metro rail Phase-II, to be jointly owned by Telangana and the Centre (on the lines of MMTS) with external financial assistance.[82] Telangana government proposed metro rail connectivity for about 26 km from BHEL to Lakdikapul with 23 stations and extension of other stretch from Nagole to LB Nagar covering a distance of about 5 kms with 4 stations.[83] BHEL-Lakdikapul metro rail corridor is expected to pass through Miyapur, Raidurg, Khajaguda Junction, Mehdipatnam, Tolichowki and Masab tank areas. Telangana Government has asked Central Government to sanction Шаблон:INRConvert for metro works in the upcoming union budget for 2023-24.[84] For implementing the project, detailed project reports (DPRs) have already been prepared by the state government with the help of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). The reports have been sent to the Centre. Also the Hyderabad airport metro limited and HMDA will build an elevated Hyderabad Bus Rapid Transit System between Kokapet neopolis and KPHB Colony metro station covering Шаблон:Cvt [85] In March 2023, K. T. Rama Rao said that metro line from Nagole will be extended to LB Nagar, which will further be extended till Hayathnagar. LB Nagar will be extended to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Shamshabad.[86] Union government pointed out to certain shortfalls in the Government of Telangana’s plan to build BHEL-Lakdikapul and Nagole to LB Nagar metro route.[87][88][89] K. T. Rama Rao replied in a letter to Union Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs Hardeep Singh Puri that the rejection is discrimination against Telangana.[90][91][92]

Hyderabad Airport Express Metro

Шаблон:Main On 26 March 2018, a special purpose vehicle company, Hyderabad Airport Metro Limited (HAML), was established by Government of Telangana to develop the Hyderabad Airport Metro Express.[93][94]

The Шаблон:Cvt Airport Express Metro Corridor is proposed to have 27-km elevated, Шаблон:Cvt on ground and a Шаблон:Cvt-km underground section to connect to the airport terminal.[95] The airport route will have 9 elevated stations and one underground station.[96] From Raidurg Metro terminal station, it will pass through Khajaguda Junction, touching Outer Ring Road at Nanakramguda junction, traverse along ORR to Shamshabad Airport through the existing dedicated Metro Rail Right-of-Way.[97][98] Chief Minister of Telangana K. Chandrashekar Rao laid the foundation stone for Hyderabad Metro Airport Express on 9 December 2022.[99] It will be built at an approximate cost of Шаблон:INRConvert.[100]

Phase III

In February 2023, K. T. Rama Rao said that BRS government would consider extending the Metro Rail up to Ramoji Film City and other parts of Hyderabad under Phase III, after coming to power for the third consecutive time in the Assembly elections in December 2023.[101][102] In June 2023, Chief Minister of Telangana K. Chandrashekar Rao announced that Hyderabad Metro will be extended further from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Shamshabad to Kandukur in Maheshwaram Assembly constituency.[103] He also said that there was a need to extend Hyderabad Metro rail from Patancheru Industrial Area in Sangareddy district to Hayathnagar in Rangareddy district.[104][105][106] In June 2023, K. T. Rama Rao said that BRS government has an ambitious plan to expand the metro network in Hyderabad to 250 km, which will include metro network from Jubilee Bus Station to ECIL.[107]

On 31 July 2023, referring to the expansion of the Hyderabad metro rail, K. T. Rama Rao listed out the proposals cleared by the Cabinet.[108] He mentioned that Government of Telangana has proposed a metro corridor of approximately 415 km in length for city of Hyderabad and its peripheral areas, including 156 km of metro network along the Outer Ring Road.[109]

Metro Rail project Phase-IlI expansion - 6 Metro Extension Corridors, Metro rail all along ORR for its entire length.[110][111] On 18 August 2023, Hyderabad Airport Metro Rail (HAML) invited tenders for the selection of consultants for preparing Preliminary Project Reports (PPRs) and Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for Phase-III metro rail expansion for 12 corridors of 278 km.[112] The selected consultants have to first submit Preliminary Project Reports within two months and carry out traffic surveys, ridership estimates.

Government of India will be requested to provide necessary clearance through the MoD area. In September 2023, Aarvee Associates and SYSTRA bagged two package contracts each for preparing the Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for the proposed third phase of Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) project.[113][114]

Finances

The Hyderabad metro is a Public–private partnership project, the total cost of this transport systems is Шаблон:USD 3.07 billion which is shared by both Larsen & Toubro (90%) Government of Telangana (10%).[138] In July 2022, L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad Limited came up with a unique concept of ‘Office Bubbles’ wherein it will offer remote, co-working spaces as part of its Transit-oriented development (ToD). The L&T Hyderabad Metro organisation is offering 1,750 sq. ft. space with two units each in 49 Metro stations across the three corridors and another 5,000-30,000 sq. ft. in eight other Metro stations.[139] Focusing on IT companies, Office Bubbles concept offers Spoke–hub distribution paradigm.[140]

In Hyderabad Metro, 40 per cent of the retail space was sold even before the metro stations were built to generate non-fare revenue.[141] L&TMRHL built real- estate projects like Next Galleria malls in Panjagutta, Irrum Manzil, Hitech City and Musarambagh with skywalks,[142] for generating non-fare revenues under Transit-oriented development (TOD).[12][143][144] In 2019, Hyderabad Metro started a semi-naming policy of metro stations, awarded through an open e-tendering process, to generate non-fare revenues.Шаблон:Citation needed

Depots

Hyderabad Metro currently has 2 operational depots.[145] Miyapur and Uppal depot land is 100 acres each.[146][147] The proposed Falaknuma depot will be constructed in 17 acres.

Ridership

Файл:Secunderabadclocktowermetro.jpg
JBS Parade Ground metro station

The Metro has opened to overwhelming response, with over 200,000 people using it on Day 1.[148] On the first Sunday of operations, the Metro was used by 240,000 people.[149] As of 2020, the daily ridership is about 490,000. Although there was hiccups in the beginning of operations in 2017 with meager ridership of 100,000 per day, opening the new lines to LB Nagar and Hi-Tech city in 2018–19, ridership has surged and reached milestones from 2 to 4 lakhs in very short duration.[150]

Trains are initially being operated at a frequency of 3 minutes in very peak hours and every 5 minutes in peak hours (between Miyapur-LB Nagar) and 4 minutes in peak hours (between Hi-Tec City/ Ameerpet-Nagole),[151] though maximum achievable frequency is every 90 seconds. Similarly, three-car trains are being used currently, though it is planned to use six-car trains in the future.[152]

In December 2017, Hyderabad Metro Rail launched its mobile app, TSavaari.[153][154] Hyderabad Metro timings are available on T-Savari app.[155] Ola Cabs and Uber tied up its services with app.[156]

In May 2022, Hyderabad Metro Managing Director N.V.S. Reddy ruled out possibility of attaching one single or double coach to three-coach train sets.[157][158] Each three-coach train can take between 900-1,000 passengers per trip[159] and the project has been envisaged in such a manner that another three-coach set rake can be attached to make them into six-coach trains with the stations/depots too already planned for the increased length of the trains.[160][161] L&T Metro Rail has been using 53 train sets of three coaches each with four three-coach sets under repair or maintenance undertaken using special software based on Internet of Things.
