The Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL) has unveiled plans to extend the city’s metro network with a new line connecting LB Nagar to Hayathnagar. This expansion, part of Corridor VIII, will feature six stations at Chintalkunta, Vanasthalipuram, Autonagar, Lecturers’ Colony, RTC Colony, and Hayathnagar. While the station names and locations are tentative, the development underscores HMRL’s efforts to improve urban mobility and ease traffic congestion in Hyderabad.
The project aims to expand the metro’s reach to nearly 50 km, providing a seamless connection from Patancheru in the northwest to Hayathnagar in the southeast. HMRL highlighted on social media that this line complements the existing network, which includes the Miyapur-Patancheru route (13.4 km) and Corridor I from Miyapur to LB Nagar (29 km).
Beyond enhancing connectivity, the extension aligns with Hyderabad’s vision for sustainable urban mobility. By linking vital residential, commercial, and work hubs, it offers an eco-friendly alternative to road travel, easing congestion and improving daily commutes for residents.
This metro expansion holds strategic importance for Hyderabad’s rapidly growing population. It promises to enhance accessibility to key areas, support economic growth, and contribute to a better quality of life. HMRL’s transparent planning and consistent updates on station details reflect a commitment to fostering public engagement in urban development.
Once operational, the LB Nagar to Hayathnagar metro line is expected to be a transformative addition to the city’s public transport infrastructure, making travel faster, safer, and more convenient for all.
