Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has suggested the metro project should go underground at two places where historical sites are located at Assembly and Sultan Bazaar. The construction company, L&T had confirmed that it is extremely difficult both economically and technically to change the project alignment at this stage. Telangana Government owns the ₹14,132-crore Hyderabad Metro Rail project, which is supported by a viability gap funding of ₹1,458 crore from the Central Government, working out to about 10 per cent of the project cost.
