Zeroing in on 100 locations for erecting pillars, the Hyderabad Airport Metro Limited (HAML) announced on Monday the commencement of the soil testing exercise for the 31km airport corridor that will connect Mindspace Junction near the Raidurg metro station and Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Shamshabad.
The metro project, the foundation for which was laid in December 2022 by Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, is estimated to cost the government Rs 6,250 crore and will complement the 69km phase-1 built in public-private partnership. The HAML last month announced the completion of a ground survey and started with peg marking of its alignment on the ground.
