Among the proposed stations are Hayathnagar, Lecturers' Colony, RTC Colony, Autonagar, Vanasthalipuram, and Chintalkunta. These names and locations are provisional and may change.

The LB Nagar Hayathnagar Metro expansion will improve connectivity across the city, facilitating easier travel for commuters between the north-west and south-east parts of Hyderabad.

HMRL highlighted that the new routes, which are part of the Hyderabad Metro project set for completion in 2025, will significantly streamline transit across the city and provide easy access to key areas.
