In order to provide metro rail facilities to more and more people in the state, the Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL) has launched an extensive expansion exercise and it is taking up techno-economic feasibility of extending corridor-I (Miyapur-LB Nagar). This included the construction of the corridor on both sides towards Patancheru and Hayathnagar and beyond, so that the inner city Metro link is connected to outer ring road and the future townships in the growth corridor, said official sources, adding that the officials also discussed potential Metro Rail phase-II corridors, plugging the gaps in Metro Rail phase-I as planned by the earlier government and linking corridor-I and corridor-III with extension of Metro corridor-III by about 5 km from Nagole to LB Nagar Station of corridor-I. After which it will involve extending corridor-III to Shamshabad International Airport from Raidurg. On this score, HMRL has arrived at a broad understanding to work on the directives of the Chief Minister and come up with a plan very shortly.
