Hyderabad Metro services have become an integral part of the mode of transportation in multiple cities across India, and Hyderabad is no different. Hyderabad Metro has emerged very popular with the residents of the city who now travel easily and efficiently. In its expansion plans, new metro routes are being prepared for this city that are to be brought into action; one of those is the first underground metro line.

Current and Proposed Metro Routes
Currently, the Hyderabad Metro runs an elevated route from Nagole to Raidurg. In the second phase, the metro line will further be extended from LB Nagar via Chandrayangutta, Mailardevpally, Jalpally, P7 Road, up to Shamshabad Airport, thereby covering 33.1 km. Of this, 21.4 km from Nagole to Lakshmiguda will continue to be an elevated route.
From Lakshmiguda, the line will be underground up to a distance of 5.28 kilometers from P7 Road up to the perimeter of the airport. The biggest development, though, will be the underground stretch of 6.42 kilometers that will take the metro line right up to the terminal of the airport. This is going to be the city’s first-ever underground metro line, and it’s a big achievement in terms of urban infrastructure development for Hyderabad.

New Stations and Facilities
The second phase of Hyderabad Metro will see the construction of 22 new stations, spaced at an average of 1.5 kilometers from one another. A few of them are proposed to be “future stations” so that the increasing transportation requirements of the city are met appropriately. There are going to be important interchange hubs at Nagole, LB Nagar, Chandrayangutta, and Mailardevpally that ensure seamless connectivity in every direction across the metro network.
Apart from this, there will be underground stations at Cargo, Terminal, and Ecosystem, and a depot will also be set up. The DPR for this ambitious expansion is already done, and now the way is clear for the successive steps to make the Hyderabad metro more comprehensive and accessible.

Conclusion
The introduction of its first underground metro line is going to be a quantum jump in urban transportation for Hyderabad. This expansion not only adds to the connectivity across the city but also places Hyderabad as a metro city ahead of others, with state-of-the-art infrastructure. These new routes, stations, and facilities will contribute greatly towards the growth of the city and make the daily commute much easier for the residents.
