Hyderabad Metro Phase II: Centre approves 162 km expansion in principle, final sanction still pending

The Centre has approved Hyderabad Metro Phase II in principle, with costs shared 50:50 with the Telangana government, but final sanction still depends on its review of the detailed project report (DPR). The proposed network spans eight corridors totalling 162.5 km and is estimated at ₹43,848 crore, according to Hyderabad Mail. The latest reports we found are from May 2026; we will update this article when a sanction or construction start is announced.

The eight proposed corridors

• Nagole–Shamshabad Airport: 36.8 km
• Raidurg–Kokapet: 11.6 km
• MGBS–Chandrayangutta: 7.5 km
• Miyapur–Patancheru: 13.4 km
• LB Nagar–Hayathnagar: 7.1 km
• Airport–Future City: 39.6 km
• Jubilee Bus Station–Medchal: 24.5 km
• Jubilee Bus Station–Shamirpet: 22.0 km

The cost is split into Part A (76.4 km, ₹24,269 crore) and Part B (86.1 km, ₹19,579 crore). Other outlets have cited different totals — The Hans India reported about ₹58,000 crore — so the final figure may change.

Where approval stands

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy met Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on 6 May 2026 to seek prompt approval. Reports in May said the Centre had approved the project in principle and would give final approval after reviewing the DPR. In an April 2026 Parliament reply, the housing ministry had said Phase II was under appraisal with no fixed sanctioning timeline.

The Centre had earlier held back approval over coordination concerns, because L&T operated Phase I while the state was to build Phase II. L&T's exit took effect on 1 May 2026, when Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL) began running services, and officials expect clearance to follow. Construction is set to start after approval, beginning with the MGBS–Chandrayangutta corridor, Hyderabad Mail reports.

Why it matters for property

Metro announcements have historically moved locality demand, and several proposed stations sit in areas with active housing markets, including Kokapet (Raidurg–Kokapet), Miyapur (Miyapur–Patancheru) and Shamshabad (airport corridors). Buyers should treat corridors as proposals until the DPR is sanctioned and alignments are final; station locations can still change.
