Hyderabad Metro Extension: Construction Update

As of October 2026, main construction on the Hyderabad Metro Phase 2 extension has not started. In May 2026, the Centre gave in-principle support with 50:50 funding. Final approval now depends on its review of the project report. Early work is under way only on the Old City line, where road widening continues. The state also bought out L&T's stake in Phase 1 in April 2026, which cleared a key hurdle. For Kismatpur, the nearest planned line runs from Raidurg to Kokapet. Current plans show no station in Kismatpur itself.

The plan has changed in size a few times. The latest submission covers about 122.9 km of new lines. Reports on the Centre's in-principle nod mention about 162 km when the later Phase 2B corridors are included.

*Lengths vary across plan versions. Final routes depend on central approval.

The only visible work so far sits on the Old City corridor. The metro team has pushed road widening between MGBS and Chandrayangutta. Officials earlier said about 1,100 properties would be affected, and they later reduced that number. Pillar marking has begun along parts of the route. Design changes help protect old heritage buildings.

On the other lines, work is still at the planning stage.

• The Centre completes its review of the detailed project report.
• The Union Cabinet gives final approval for the project.
• The state and Centre set up the funding and a joint company, if required.
• Tenders go out for civil works, corridor by corridor.
• Construction begins, usually starting with priority corridors.

Most metro projects in India take four to six years from the start of works to opening. So new Phase 2 lines are unlikely to open before about 2030.

Kismatpur does not have a metro station today. The nearest working stations sit about 17 km away. Current plans do not show a station in Kismatpur itself.

Two planned corridors could still help residents:

• Raidurg to Kokapet Neopolis: would bring the metro closer to the Financial District and Kokapet.
• Nagole to the airport: would link the airport with the east of the city, far from Kismatpur.

For now, treat metro access as a long-term plus for Kismatpur, not a reason to buy today.

Several issues slowed the Phase 2 plan between 2024 and 2026. The Centre first raised questions about the public-private model used for Phase 1. The state then bought out L&T's stake in Phase 1, which settled that concern. The plan also grew from about 76 km to over 120 km as new routes were added. Each change meant fresh studies and a revised project report.

With the funding model now agreed in principle, the main step left is final central approval. After that, tenders and construction can begin.

Buyers looking at new projects in Kismatpur should plan around road access first. SOBHA's upcoming Sobha Amara at Kismatpur expects possession in December 2029. By then, the road upgrades should be ready, while metro lines may still be under construction. The project plans 816 homes in two G+56 towers, with the 2 BHK from an indicative ₹1.61 Cr*.
