Hyderabad Metro to Get 60 New Coaches

Hyderabad: Hyderabad Metro Rail is set to receive 60 new coaches in the coming months as the Telangana government accelerates efforts to expand and strengthen the city’s public transport network.

The state government is working towards awarding the manufacturing contract to an Indian company as part of the “Make in India” initiative. According to ABN, officials of Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL) have started the process following directions from Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, who has instructed officials to finalise the manufacturing company and ensure that the new coaches are rolled out at the earliest.

The addition of 60 coaches is expected to significantly improve the operational capacity of the Hyderabad Metro network. More coaches will allow the metro system to increase services on busy routes, reduce waiting times during peak hours and accommodate the growing number of daily passengers.

The move comes amid increasing demand for reliable and efficient public transportation in Hyderabad. With the city expanding rapidly and traffic congestion becoming a major concern, strengthening the metro network is seen as an important step towards providing commuters with a faster and more convenient alternative to road transport.

The government’s decision to source the coaches from an Indian manufacturer also highlights its focus on domestic manufacturing and the wider Make in India programme. Once the contract is finalised, the manufacturing and delivery schedule will determine when the additional coaches begin entering passenger service.

The expansion is expected to support Hyderabad’s long-term mobility needs and help the metro system play a larger role in reducing road congestion and improving connectivity across the city.

Meanwhile, Hyderabad is also celebrating its 80th Independence Day with a strong tricolour spirit, with patriotic celebrations and the national flag adding to the festive atmosphere across the city.
