Revanth Vows To Expand Metro Rail

Speaking at the inauguration of the Credai Hyderabad Property Show 2025 at Hitex Exhibition Centre, the Chief Minister said the metro expansion was halted for a decade in the city.

“If Jaipal Reddy hadn’t given the Metro then, would Hyderabad be the second-fastest developing metro city?.. When Rajasekhar Reddy (who was then the Chief Minister) proposed the Metro, Jaipal Reddy, in addition to sanctioning the struck-down Metro, also gave a viable gap fund,” he added.

However, with no expansion of the Metro over the past decade, Hyderabad slipped to ninth position, the Chief Minister noted. “We neglected it for 10 years. If the Metro had been expanded, it would have at least provided some solutions to these traffic jams,” he asserted.

Further, Revanth Reddy said Hyderabad is one of the major growth engines of the country. Real estate, construction, and infrastructure, he said, are the pillars that can transform Telangana into a truly developed region.

“We are committed to creating transparent, investment-friendly policies that protect investors, encourage innovation, and ensure profitability for those who put their trust in Telangana,” he said. “The message to investors is simple: Telangana is open for business, and we will protect your investments with robust laws and transparent governance.”

Highlighting the growth drivers, he said infrastructure development is the key and the state government will focus on large-scale projects. Speaking about Hyderabad’s past growth through Hi-Tec City, the Outer Ring Road (ORR), and the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA), he said these were proof of what vision-driven projects can achieve.

“We will now take this further with the development of a Regional Ring Road (300–360 km) encircling the state’s economic hubs, connected with a regional ring rail,” he said, adding that drinking water supply will also get a major boost through another infrastructure project.

“Dedicated industrial corridors on both sides of the Regional Ring Road will be created. Greenfield highways and railway corridors connecting ports, Metro rail expansion redesigned to cover more last-mile areas in Hyderabad — all will be developed,” he added.

He also noted that the new infrastructure projects would reduce the commute distance from Hyderabad to Vijayawada by around 70 km.

Stating that Future City would be a role model even for developed countries, the Chief Minister outlined a triple-sector focus — Expanding the financial district, IT hubs, and Metro connectivity in urban service sector (city up to ORR), semi-urban industrial growth in the region between ORR and RRR by building manufacturing zones and industrial parks. Rural agricultural modernisation in the region beyond RRR by linking rural produce to urban and global markets with transport corridors and water connectivity.

“I consider real estate not just land — it is sentiment, opportunity, and business potential. Telangana’s growth will be built on this sentiment, backed by infrastructure, trust, and policy clarity,” said Revanth Reddy. “We will not just dream about development — we will deliver it. And I invite every investor, entrepreneur, and citizen to join us in making Telangana a model for the world.”
