The metro rail, which will be elevated, has a total length of 72 kms. Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, has invited prime minister Narendra Modi to inaugurate the 30-km-long first phase of the metro project, when the latter is in the city to attend the Global Entrepreneurship Summit, to be held from November 28-30, 2017.
The project, which started in July 2012, was initially scheduled to be completed by June 2017 (in all three corridors) but land acquisition and other issues resulted in the project overshooting the deadline. Minor pending works would be completed shortly, after which the complete stretch, from Nagole to Miyapur via Ameerpet Interchange Metro Station, would be ready for operation, the statement added.
