Project Brief

The purpose of project activity is to establish and operate a new rail based mass rapid transit system (MRTS) in the city of Hyderabad for passenger transport. In a pre-project scenario people in the city moved using a mix of private and public modes of transit (baseline). It is expected that new MRTS will displace a part of the passenger trips of these pre-project modes which comprise of two wheelers, passenger cars, taxis, autos and buses, even though these will continue to play the important role of moving people from one place to another in the city.  Since moving people using MRTS is more energy efficient on per passenger-kilometer basis compared to the pre-project modes, it is expected that MRTS will induce significant GHG emission reduction during the project lifetime through mode shift from pre-project modes. The project activity is implemented by L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited (LTMRHL) which has a concession agreement with the Government of (erstwhile Andhra Pradesh) Telangana for a period of 35 years and extendable by another 25 years.
