The HMR chief further said that all the 57 three-car trains from Hyundai Rotem, South Korea, have been received and the sanction of the Commissioner for Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) for the Miyapur-SR Nagar section (12 kms) of corridor-1 has also been received. The HRM project is the world’s largest public-private partnership project (PPP) in the sector. The metro network will cover a total distance of around 72 kms, across three corridors.
The project was initially scheduled to be completed by July 2017, but delays like changes in alignment, land acquisition and other issues, have resulted in the project overshooting the deadline. Authorities had earlier said that all the three corridors, including the one passing through the Old City, would be completed by December 2018.
