Hyderabad: Acquisition of five major properties in Ameerpet, Jubliee Hills and Begumpet and near the Sangeet crossroads in Secunderabad are critical for work on Metro Rail but the process to acquire land is stuck in various stages.

The HMR needs the Transstroy building in Jubilee Hills, Rehmat Complex at Ameerpet junction, Nandakumar and Padmahamsa apartments near Sangeet crossroads and the RAK Ceramics building at Begumpet.
