Hyderabad’s Chandrayangutta Set to Emerge as a Central Metro Hub in the Old City
Chandrayangutta, strategically positioned on the Nagole-LB Nagar-Mailardevpalli-Airport line, will likely play a crucial role as a central interchange point
Hyderabad: In a concerted effort to improve accessibility and offer seamless travel options for residents in the Old City, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has directed officials to extend the proposed Airport Metro, featuring a crucial interchange station at Chandrayangutta.
Chandrayangutta, strategically positioned along the Nagole-LB Nagar-Mailardevpalli-Airport line, is poised to become a pivotal interchange point, playing a crucial role in the Metro network. The plan involves extending the MGBS-Falaknuma route by an additional 1.5 km to integrate Chandrayangutta with the Metro network. This decision was reached during a recent meeting with engineering experts and Metro officials to address the complexities of creating train reversal and stabling lines at Chandrayangutta. The discussion took into account unique challenges presented by the narrow road width and existing infrastructure, such as the flyover in the area.
The proposed extension not only strengthens the Metro network but also strategically enhances connectivity between Shamshabad airport and the culturally-rich Old City. This initiative aligns with the goal of drawing on best practices from various Metros and building on the success of Hyderabad Metro Phase-I to provide improved passenger facilities and maximize ridership. With Chandrayangutta at the forefront as a key hub, the expanded metro network is set to bring transformative changes to the Old City’s real estate market and transportation landscape, offering easier and more efficient travel options for residents.
