L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad (L&TMRH), the concessionaire building the Hyderabad Metro Rail project, is going ahead with the ‘original alignment’ with regard to the viaduct passing opposite the Legislative Assembly and another through the Sultan Bazar. The state government has asked L&T Metro Rail to go ahead according to the original plan without any changes, said Mr Gadgil. He, however, did not divulge the mode of communication, whether it was oral or written.

“The government has conveyed orally to go ahead with works at Sultan Bazar and Assembly areas as per the original alignment. Talks are still on with regard to old city area,” V B Gadgil, Chief Executive and Managing Director L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) said in a press conference.

L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad (L&TMRH) has titled its real estate section as ‘Hyderabad Next’ and each station size range from 2,500 sq.ft to 9,000 sq.ft at two different locations at the concourse level or below station. Stores sizes start from 100 sq.ft to 350 sq.ft and can be scaled to 1,000 sq.ft and 2,500 sq.ft in the entry/exit area.

Hyderabad Metro project was originally estimated to cost Rs141.32 billion and work was to be completed by July 2017. But now it will take one more year for the project to be fully ready.
