The Central government has approved Phase 2 of the Hyderabad Metro, a ₹24,269 crore expansion adding about 76.4 km over five corridors, with a target completion year of 2029, according to reports on 27 and 28 October 2026. Services are expected to open in stages as sections are finished.
The approved plan is a cut-down version of what Telangana proposed: a seven-corridor, 122.9 km network costing ₹38,595 crore. Reports name the five approved corridors below, though one report notes that official confirmation of the final list is still awaited, and the Centre-state funding split has not been published.
The five corridors
| Corridor | Route | Length |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Nagole to Shamshabad and Rajiv Gandhi International Airport | About 36.8 km |
| 2 | Raidurg to Kokapet Neopolis | 11.6 km |
| 3 | MGBS to Chandrayangutta, through the Old City | 7.5 km |
| 4 | Miyapur to Patancheru | 13.4 km |
| 5 | LB Nagar to Hayathnagar | 7.1 km |
The two corridors from the state’s proposal that are not on this list are JBS to Medchal and JBS to Shamirpet in the north.
Kokapet Neopolis gets a direct metro link
The 11.6 km Raidurg to Kokapet Neopolis corridor extends the existing Blue Line terminus at Raidurg, next to HITEC City, through the Financial District to the Neopolis layout. That is where most of Hyderabad’s new luxury towers are being built, including Godrej Epoque, MSN Neopolis, Brigade Barcelona, Prestige Clairemont, Rajapushpa Skyra and SSI Fortune Grande. Neopolis today depends on the Outer Ring Road and internal roads, so a rail link to HITEC City would matter most to people working in the IT corridor.
The airport line and the south
The longest corridor, about 36.8 km from Nagole through LB Nagar to Shamshabad and the airport, would give east and south Hyderabad a rail link to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport. Shamshabad projects such as Sumadhura Gardens by the Brook and Vaishnaoi Southwoods are closest to this line.
Miyapur to Patancheru in the north-west
The 13.4 km Miyapur to Patancheru corridor extends the Red Line along the Mumbai highway to the Patancheru industrial belt, serving Chandanagar, BHEL and Ameenpur. Nearby projects include Vertex Viraat at Miyapur and Revasa La Valora near Patancheru.
Before you buy on the promise of a metro
Metro corridors in Indian cities often take longer than their target dates, and station locations can shift during detailed design. Treat 2029 as an ambition rather than a date to plan a move around, check the distance from a project to the proposed station once the alignment is published, and value a home on the connectivity it has today. We track connectivity for every project in our Hyderabad city guide.
