Hyderabad is a blend of architectural marvels, rich cultural heritage, delectable cuisines and exquisite textiles that are celebrated all over the world. The city is all set to foray into a new realm of happy travelling experience with Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR). An amalgamation of cutting edge technology, machine automation and extensive engineering expertise, it is the world’s largest public-private partnership (PPP) project in the Metro Rail sector, running across a distance of seventy-two kilometers. Eco-friendly and fully automated, Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) will effectively address traffic issues and reduce carbon footprints using Regenerative Braking Technology (RBT) and Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) mechanism.

This project will establish Hyderabad as one of the most sought-after business destinations in the country. In addition to Transit Oriented Development (TOD), parking facilities and corridors with elevators, escalators and staircases, are designed to cater to the requirements of all commuters, including differently-abled and elderly passengers. Shopping facilities inside the station premises will assist passengers to meet their daily needs. Automatic Ticket Vending (ATV) machines and Automated Fare Collection (AFC) system will aid hassle free station entry and exit with minimal waiting time.

HMR will connect major points in the city, including corporate offices, academic institutions, retail spaces and residential areas. Growth of ancillary industries, in and around Metro station premises, will also provide ample opportunities for business to both well-known and local companies. ‘My City, My Metro, My Pride’ is the brand mantra of HMR which focuses on the evolution of operationally aligned, economically viable and people-oriented development that will accelerate holistic development. Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) will be instrumental in improving the lives of the citizens of Hyderabad by providing safer, faster and economical mode of public transport.
