Hyderabad Metro Phase 2 Project: The Telangana government has submitted a proposal for the construction of Phase 2 of the Hyderabad Metro Rail network, the central government said. In a written reply in the Lok Sabha on April 2, 2026, Tokhan Sahu, Minister of State (MoS) in the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), said:
“The proposals of Hyderabad Metro Rail Phase-II (76.4 km comprising five corridors) and Hyderabad Metro Phase-II (B) (86.1 km comprising three corridors) were received in this Ministry from Government of Telangana (GoTG),” the Union Minister said.
The minister was responding to queries raised by Lok Sabha MP Asaduddin Owaisi, on whether the ministry had received a proposal from the Telangana government seeking approval for Phase 2 of the Hyderabad Metro Rail project.
In response to Owaisi’s query on the status of final approval by the Union Government, including in-principle clearance for the Hyderabad Metro Rail Phase 2 project, the minister said that Metro Rail projects are highly cost-intensive and undergo a detailed appraisal and examination process at multiple levels within the Central Government, as per relevant provisions of Metro Rail Policy, 2017.
“The approval of project depends upon outcome of such appraisal process, feasibility of project and availability of the resources, therefore, no timeline of the project can be fixed for approval,” he said.
The Union Minister further said that the Government of Telangana (GoTG) has informed the Centre that a six-member committee, chaired by the Chief Secretary, was constituted on November 19, 2025, to oversee the takeover of Phase-1 of the Hyderabad Metro Rail project by the state government or its entities.
“Government of India (GoI) has nominated one member on the committee solely to advise on the technical feasibility of the integration of the proposed Phase-II network with the existing Phase-I metro network,” he said.
