Hyderabad Metro Rail Phase-I takeover, Phase-II expansion hit roadblock as funding search drags on
Hyderabad's Metro Phase‑I takeover and Phase‑II expansion have stalled because the search for a ₹13,500‑crore loan continues. The State Bank of India, tasked with locating a lender, has approached several agencies but no one has agreed to the low interest rates the government wants. This delay affects the city's transit plans and may push back completion dates.
