In a move to enhance connectivity and address the evolving needs of Hyderabad, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has directed officials of the Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL) to expedite traffic studies and detailed project reports for a revised Airport Metro alignment via the Old City and from LB Nagar.
During a comprehensive review of Phase-II proposals for the Hyderabad Metro Rail, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy emphasised the need to put on hold the previous Airport Metro plan from Raidurg to Shamshabad Airport. The decision stems from the availability of a wide Outer Ring Road (ORR), rendering the earlier plan redundant.
