Vivek B. Gadgil, Chief Executive and Managing Director, L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited, Hi-tech City, Madhapur, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh. Hyderabad Metro Project is one of the most prestigious & the biggest PPP contract in Metro Sector in the world involving the construction of 71.16 km of elevated metro rail in three corridors criss-crossing the city of Hyderabad. Ecofriendly elevated Metro Stations would be located along the route at roughly every 1 km distance with passenger access through staircases, escalators and lifts. The Project will be well integrated with the exiting suburban railway network (MMTS) and bus stops so as to ensure seamless and comfortable travel for the passengers. Adequate Parking & Circulation areas adjoining the stations shall be provided at 25 locations along the corridor. This project will use the State of Art technology which includes the latest Metro Cars, Signaling & Communication system leading to Automatic Train Operations. The Automatic Fare Collection System will provide a user-friendly facility to use and share the ticketing system with the other modes of transport over a period. The project allows the right to develop 18.5million sq.ft. of Transit Oriented Development. Once implemented, Hyderabad will probably be the first city in India with integrated urban planning with inter modal connectivity and convenient sky-walks making seamless commuting a reality. L&T plans to generate around 30% of the total revenue from the Hyderabad Metro through non-core operations that include developing 6 million sq. ft of commercial real estate on 243 acres of land allotted for the project.
