• Citizen mobility plays an important role in the development of a metropolis and Hyderabad is no exception. Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) is an initiative to meet the growing needs of transportation in Hyderabad.
• Based on the Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS), the Metro Rail Project will reduce traffic congestion across Hyderabad, lower pollution levels and improve the ‘livability index’ of Hyderabad.
• This ambitious Project was awarded to Larsen & Toubro (L&T).
• A special purpose vehicle, L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad Limited (LTMRHL), was incorporated as “the concessionaire” to enter into an agreement with the then Government of Andhra Pradesh on 4th September, 2010, for implementation of the Project under Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Transfer (DBFOT) basis.
• A dazzling example of an efficient public transport system, HMR is a marvel of modern engineering that will add a new dimension to the city of Hyderabad.
• Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) is the world’s largest Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project in the Metro rail sector.
• Metro rail and other forms of Mass Rapid Transport System (MRTS) are emerging as prominent infrastructure requirements offering a viable solution to the transportation woes that accompany urban expansion.
• Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) Project is an integrated urban transport development project with intermodal connectivity and convenient sky walks that will mark the beginning of an era of seamless commuting across Hyderabad.

The Hyderabad Metro Rail Network will cover a total distance of around 69.2 Km across three corridors:

• Corridor I : Miyapur to LB Nagar
• Corridor II : JBS to MGBS
• Corridor III : Nagole to Raidurgam

Green Metro

• Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) is a ‘green’ transportation system which will reduce carbon footprint through efficient power consumption, rainwater harvesting and other processes.
• Every time you ride with us, you contribute to the development of an eco-friendly environment.
• Some of the positive aspects of the ‘green’ Metro project are listed below:
• Rain water harvesting in our premises for charging ground water. One hundred thousand liters of water per day is recycled by us.
• It is estimated that ten thousand tons of CO2 will be eliminated from the environment as people adopt Metro rail as their preferred mode of transportation. This is also expected to reduce two hundred tons of volatile organic compounds from the environment, including twelve tons of particulate matter.
• Innovative rolling stock used in HMR Project is expected to reduce five thousand tons of CO2 equivalent from the surrounding. Five million dollars of additional environmental damage costs due to emissions of harmful gasses is estimated to be eliminated.
• Solar energy project will further make Metro rail an eco-friendly mode of transport.
• More than thousand trees, in and around Metro rail depots, will add to the natural ambience and also improve the landscape. An estimated one ton of waste paper per year is recycled and reused by us, which saves approximately twenty three trees in a year.
• Eco-friendly chemicals are used in house-keeping and maintaining artworks at Metro stations to ensure minimum energy consumption.
