The chief minister addressed the crowd after laying the foundation stone and noted that Hyderabad was one of the most rapidly expanding metropolitan areas with a long history. The demand for real estate was quickly increasing, and construction was proceeding at a rapid clip"Skyscrapers are springing up all throughout the city, and office space is in great demand". According to him, the metro rail network is being expanded while taking into account the city's constantly expanding needs.
The upmarket Madhapur's Mindspace Junction IT hub and the airport would be connected by a 31-km metro rail track, cutting the city's rising population's commute time by more than one hour.
The estimated $6,250 crore airport express metro route will be a wholly owned state government project with no help from the federal government. N V S Reddy, managing director of Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited, stated that as there is a dedicated metro rail along the outer ring road, no significant land acquisition is required for the same.
The existing metro rail's maximum speed is 35 km/h, and the speed limit is 35 km/h, however the airport metro rail's top speed is 120 kmph. With the coaches being lightweight to boost speed, he said that the 31 km stretch could be readily completed in just 26 minutes. In order to travel on both metros, users will be able to utilise a single smart card, he continued.
