Metro and Monorail to Decongest IT Corridor?

After the successful launch of the first phase of Hyderabad Metro Rail Project, the state government is mulling a Monorail project for the IT corridor, from Madhapur-Gachibowli belt up to the new IT parks proposed at Kokapet.

The Metro Rail is only covering a part of the IT corridor, up to Shilparamam near Hitec City as part of Corridor III. The future plan is to extend the Metro Rail from Shilparamam up to Raidurg in the near future. This Monorail Project will ensure last mile connectivity in the IT Corridor.

The Monorail project is planned from Madhapur to Kokapet, covering a distance of 20 km via Gachibowli and Nanakramguda. If it works out, the government also wants to cover the area from Mehdipatnam to Gachibowli under the Monorail project in the future.
