For the Hyderabad Metro Rail Project, including for expanding metro services to the ancient city and for metro connectivity to the airport, the Telangana government on Monday allotted $25,000,000,000. The State Assembly's budget for 2023鈥�24 allotted $15,000,000,000 towards the Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR). Additionally, the government set aside 5000 million for each of two projects: expanding Metro Rail service to the ancient city and constructing a metro connection to Shamshabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Airport. T. Harish Rao, the state's minister of finance, focused solely on the budgetary provision for metro connectivity to the airport. The number of passengers using the international airport, he observed, has been rising daily. To address the needs even if the air traffic increases to 40 mn passengers annually, the airport's expansion facilities have been purchased for 75,000 mn. By June, he claimed, the expanded facilities would be finished. According to the minister, it has been planned to extend metro rail services to the airport in order to make it easier for travellers to go to the airport quickly from various locations. This metro lane will travel 31 kilometres starting in Raidurg and ending at Shamshabad Airport. K. Chandrasekhar Rao, the chief minister, has laid the groundwork for metro link to the airport. According to him, the State government will undertake this project at a cost of 62,500 million and complete it in three years. An additional 5000 million has been set aside to expand the Hyderabad Metro Rail system to the old city. Similar funds were allotted in the budget for the year prior, but the job was not completed. Three lines totaling 69.2 km in length make up the first phase of the L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad (L&TMRH) project. While the corridors from L. B. Nagar to Miyapur and Nagole to Raidurg have been finished, the corridor from Jubilee Bus Station (JBS) to Falaknuma has not. Connectivity has been made available from JBS to MGBS, also known as Imlibun, on the third corridor. Because he does not have permission, the developer has refrained from expanding in the old city. The intended 5.5 km stretch of metro construction has been delayed for a number of reasons, including financial losses incurred by the developer and operator as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and religious and historic monuments along the proposed route in the old city. It is also unclear whether the state government would provide independent funding for the renovations in the ancient city. The cost of the project has already increased significantly due to the need to acquire property, relocate utilities like power and water pipes, and build elevated viaducts and stations. As a result, it is unlikely that the concessionaire will pay for the work. To recover from the losses, it suffered as a result of the pandemic in 2021, AL&TMRHL requested assistance from the state government. The 73-km elevated metro, which was constructed at a total cost of $200 million, is the largest metro project ever undertaken through a public-private partnership (PPP).
