122.9 km ₹38,595-crore Hyderabad Metro Rail expansion plan awaits Centre-State JV
Hyderabad’s metro authority has outlined a 122.9‑kilometre expansion costing about ₹38,595 crore, but the project is stalled pending a centre‑state joint venture agreement. Officials say without clearances from the central government, the state cannot secure low‑interest loans needed for land acquisition or to move the plan forward, leaving the expansion uncertain. The delay could push back expected completion dates and increase overall costs, officials warned.
