Great news for Hyderabad w/ 3 HSR Corridors announced in the budget today! 🚆🙌

Hope the final station is in the core city limits around Sec'bad Station (and not just Nagulapalli/Neopolis), even if LA for such a line will be herculean task.

Have tried communicating the same in closed channels!

So much opportunity for a KLCC park-styled development, a signature tower overlooking the lake & a transit hub.

Plotting them for more run of the mill luxury residential projects will be a planning tragedy. 😮‍💨

[Hyderabad Mojo @HyderabadMojo]

Hopefully, with multiple metro corridors to complement the construction density. 🚇

One line whizzing past all the way till RGIA and the other(s) serving FD, Narsingi & Kokapet.

+ A bus network crisscrossing all of these lines.

One can dream :) For now, just AI.

🚨 Big! Telangana Govt. is moving ahead with clearances for Phase 1 of the Musi Riverfront Development project in a 50m buffer on either side of the river.

Infrastructure includes landscaped areas, cycling paths, a road network, and an embankment for flood control.

River cleaning/desilting will be carried out up to a depth of 2m.

Phase 1 will have 2 sub-phases :
🔸1A - Himayat Sagar to Bapughat (9 km)
🔸1B - Osman Sagar to Bapughat (11 km)

Estimated Phase 1 cost : ₹5,641 Crores

The govt’s planned takeover of Phase 1 metro from L&T is the best news for Hyd in a while! Should clear all roadblocks for Phase 2 approvals.🚇

Hopefully, the long-overdue 6-coach trains will also be procured on the Red & Blue Lines, maybe after monetizing the unused TOD land.

[Sharath Tummala @Sharath46735287]

@hmrgov please buy more coaches. Raidurg station is overflowing with crowd due to 3 coach toy trains and thus your staff is blocking entry to station to control crowd.

#HyderabadMetro expansion (Phase 2A) was the need of the hour YESTERDAY! And should be prioritized over RRR if it comes to that.

Gentle reminder that even in the best-case scenario, we won't see any lines materialize before 2030. Can only imagine what a "Not any time soon" scenario would look like. 🤦

[Hyderabad Mojo @HyderabadMojo]

A garbage mountain growing between the shiny glass buildings, in what is supposed to be the city's most premier business district 🤷

There's a mountain of construction debris as well nearby, behind IKEA.

Pathetic state of affairs. @GHMC / @HMDA_Gov, how are you allowing this?

[Hyderabad Mojo @HyderabadMojo]

#Opinion Current govt. has made several ambitious proposals but deep down will be happy if they just get a dedicated footpath network + underground utilities program going like Bengaluru's TenderSURE!

The current state of footpaths (where they exist) in Hyderabad is deplorable in most areas.

[Hyderabad Mojo @HyderabadMojo]

Phase 2 Metro is headed in the right direction! 🚉

DPRs have been submitted to the Centre and funding will be through State-Centre JV & low-interest loans from Multilateral Development Banks like JICA. Just how it should have been for Phase 1 as well...

Hopefully not much delay from the Centre in approving the project 🤞

[Hyderabad Mojo @HyderabadMojo]

#Metro #Phase2 🚉

Metro Corridors in Phase 2 with some iterative changes, DPRs to be finalized soon.

Blue Line now extends all the way to Neopolis via Financial District as we had speculated before, which is huge!

🔸 Length - 116.2 km
🔸 Est. Cost - ₹32,237 Cr

Proposed as a JV between State & Central Govt, hopefully finalized & taken up soon.

[Hyderabad Mojo @HyderabadMojo]

"Crowded Buses". Maybe try checking the cameras from inside your trains once in a while before making these tone-deaf posts? :)

Increase your capacity to what it was designed for (6 coaches, FYI) and you'll stand a chance at chipping away at your actual competition.

[Hyderabad Mojo @HyderabadMojo]

Knowledge City to get a 'T-Square' on the intersection opp. T-Hub! It is envisioned as an iconic public place/plaza and tourist attraction with inspiration from Times Square, NY.

We had suggested this idea a couple of years back on the same plot, glad to see it in action! 😄

@ Ameerpet Metro Station - Hyderabad 🚇

@ltmhyd @md_hmrl 3+3 coaches implementation is still a distant dream for commuters.

[Hyderabad Mojo @HyderabadMojo]

#Metro #Updates 🚇

The latest alignment per HMRL shows the Blue Line being extended to Neopolis from Mindspace, instead of terminating at US Consulate.

Been requesting this for ages, hopefully Phase 2 will be taken up on a war footing while continuing to expand! 🤞

[UrbanEye - Hyderabad @UrbanEyeHyd]

Dust suppression measures should be strictly mandated at construction sites across Hyd. Lot of dust pollution in HKC area @CommissionerGHMC @GHMCOnline @TelanganaPCB

[UrbanEye - Hyderabad @UrbanEyeHyd]

Now that elections have come to an end, govt should expedite Phase 2 of Hyderabad metro and revive MMTS to full capacity. Raidurg traffic scenes witnessed during heavy rains would be a common sight in near future even without rains @revanth_anumula @kishanreddybjp @TelanganaCMO
