Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has asserted that his government has no plans to scrap projects like Metro Rail or Pharma City and that steps are being taken for streamlining them in view of the large public interests.
In this direction, the government agreed to the metro rail extension proposed by the previous government. The distance from BHEL to the international airport as proposed was 32 km, but it was decided to take up metro works connecting airport from MGBS covering Shamshabad en route.
Metro rail services were proposed to be extended from Nagole to the airport covering Owaisi Hospital and Chandrayangutta. Metro services from MGBS would be connected to this line at Chandrayangutta. The government would extend existing metro lines from Miyapur to Ramachandrapuram and from Mind Space Junction to the Financial District. The new proposals by the government would ensure a significant reduction in the costs incurred for the extension of metro services.
