Overview

  • Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy held a PRTS review with senior officials on Thursday and directed the state to set up three dedicated automated transit tracks in Hyderabad.
  • The government named the routes as LB Stadium to Ranigunj bus stand, Assembly Metro Station to Begumpet, and KPHB Metro Station to Biodiversity Park Metro Station.
  • Tenders must be finalised by December, starting a fast procurement phase before construction and system procurement can begin.
  • The LB Stadium–Ranigunj corridor is the top priority and was ordered to be completed within a year, signalling an aggressive rollout target for the first operational line.
  • Officials were asked to plan PRTS depots with multi‑level parking at Necklace Road and near IKEA in Gachibowli to integrate the pods with Metro stations and park‑and‑ride facilities, and implementation will be led by Hyderabad Metro Rail, GHMC and the Future City Development Authority.
