The Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam metro rail projects have made little headway in the last five years due to procedural delays and changed priorities.
Several changes have been made to the original plans during the TDP term and by the YSRCP government now.
A G.O. clearing the decks for the implementation of the Visakhapatnam metro rail project, which is apparently more feasible with better returns than the one planned in Vijayawada, in the PPP mode had been given in November 2018.
