Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) (Telugu: హైదరాబాద్ మెట్రో రైలు) is a fully automated rapid transit system, currently under construction, for the city of Hyderabad, India. It is being implemented entirely on PPP mode, with the state government holding a minority equity stake.
The Phase I of the project includes 3 lines covering a distance of around 71 km. The metro rail stretches between Nagole and Mettuguda (8 km) and between Miyapur and S. R. Nagar (12 km) are targeted to be operational by March 2015 as Ugadi gift. In September 2012, the Indian government has approved Phase II which is expected to start construction in 2013. It includes around 80 kilometers.
HMR project was showcased as one of the top 100 strategic global infrastructure projects at the Global Infrastructure Leadership Forum held in New York during February–March, 2013.
The HMR project is considered to be the world’s largest project under public-private partnership, with investments of over Rs 17,000 Crore.

HMR to begin rail crossover work The metro line viaduct will be built across the existing six railway lines and also another couple of lines proposed for future expansion Work on the first land railway line crossover by the elevated metro project will begin at Bharatnagar on the second stage of construction schedule between Miyapur-S.R.Nagar, which forms part of Corridor One - Miyapur-L.B.Nagar - in the next few days. Senior officials and engineers of the Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) and the concessionaire L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad (L&TMRH) have been going through the minute details of the landscape and the construction elements required for the technical feat of the crossing over on the right side of the Sanathnagar flyover (from Erragadda). Work will be done in such a manner that the metro line viaduct will be built across the existing six railway lines and also another couple of lines proposed for future expansion without any piers in between, said HMR Managing Director N.V.S. Reddy. One of three spans planned at the site will be 213 ft long (65 metres) to cross over all the existing and proposed railway lines on the ground. The lengthiest span crossing over the railway lines will be at Oliphant Bridge - 272 ft (83 metres) followed by the one to be built at Bhoiguda - 220 ft (67 metres). Other 213 ft viaduct spans will be constructed at Begumpet and Chilkalguda. At Bharatnagar, the other two spans will be of 128 ft long each (39 metres). The angled pier to shift the viaduct direction will be built about 500 metres from the start of the flyover on both sides, said M. Vishnu Vardhan Reddy, General Manager, HMR. It also means the metro line will be moving at a slightly higher level in parallel to the flyover. Eight crossings The next stage of the railway crossover will be at Alugaddabavi, Mettuguda. The metro rail will be crossing over the traditional railway lines at eight crossings including old Gandhi Hospital, Lakdikapul and Malakpet. It will also be crossing over flyovers at Greenlands, Hi-Tec City, Punjagutta, Nalgonda crossroads and Narayanguda crossroads while it will be built alongside the flyovers of Tarnaka, Hari Hara Kala Bhavan, CTO, Airport, Begumpet and Khairatabad. At three metro rail stations, one corridor will be built over the other like at Ameerpet corridor one will be over corridor three, MGBS corridor two will be over corridor one and Parade Grounds corridor two will be over corridor three, added HMR MD.
The official estimated cost of the project stands at 141.32 billion (US$2.3 billion). The Central Government bears 10% of it, while L&T bears the remaining 90% of the cost. However, construction work was supposed to commence on 3 March 2011. Since the project has already been delayed by a year, the interest component has accumulated to 18.25 billion. As a result, the final current cost (as of March 2012) of the project stands at 159.57 billion.

Hyderabad Metro Rail gets Rs. 1,458 crore Viability Gap Funding – the Hindu 08may13
A government-appointed committee headed by Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) Secretary Arvind Mayaram on Monday approved viability gap funding (VGF) of Rs. 1,458 crore for development of Hyderabad Metro Rail. “The Empowered Committee headed by the DEA Secretary has accorded final approval for viability gap funding of Rs. 1,458 crore (12.35 per cent of total project cost of Rs. 11,814 crore) under the VGF scheme to the project from government of Andhra Pradesh for development of Hyderabad Metro Rail on DBFOT (toll) basis,” the Finance Ministry said in a statement. VGF is typically provided in competitively bid projects. Under VGF, the Central government meets up to 20 per cent of capital cost of a project being implemented in public private partnership (PPP) mode by a Central Ministry, State government, statutory entity or a local body. The State government, sponsoring ministry or the project authority can pitch in with another 20 per cent of the project cost to make the projects even more attractive for the investors. — PTI FUNDING AFTER A YEAR Hyderabad Special Correspondent adds: The viability gap funding by the Centre will start flowing after the concessionaire L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad (L&TMRH) will spend its equity share of Rs.2,768 crore of the total project cost of Rs.12,132 crore. HMR Managing Director N.V.S. Reddy informed that the funds will be released in proportion to the debt servicing by the concessionaire and most likely it will take up to a year’s time. He had attended the empowered high committee of officials drawn from the Finance Ministry, Planning Commission and Urban Development, at New Delhi, on Monday as the A.P. Government representative where the final clearance was given. Mr. Reddy pointed out that the Centre had assured the VGF or 20 per cent of the project cost when the project was appraised to be taken up in the public, private partnership (PPP) mode itself and the three central agencies had noted the precise documentation done for the work.
