TG Clears Metro Takeover, Doubles Nalsar Quota
The Telangana Cabinet has approved a plan to expedite the process of taking over the Hyderabad Metro Rail project from the private operator, Larsen & Toubro (L&T). The government aims to assume full control to improve operational efficiency, enhance commuter experience, and expand the network to new areas. This move comes as part of a broader strategy to modernize public transport and reduce traffic congestion in Hyderabad. The state is expected to engage with L&T and financial institutions to finalize the acquisition terms. Officials believe that government control will allow faster project execution, better fare management, and smoother integration with other transport systems like TSRTC and MMTS.

This initiative underscores Telangana’s commitment to improving urban mobility and making Hyderabad a model for sustainable urban development.
