Hyderabad Metro has taken up a study to change the alignment of the rail track in order to avoid the Legislative Assembly building and Sultan Bazar stretch in Hyderabad, even as the realignment is expected to escalate the project cost by over Rs 300 crore (Rs 3 billion).
The over Rs 15,000-crore Hyderabad project comprises 72 kilometre of elevated metro rail line and six million sft of transit-oriented development.
L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad Ltd, which is developing a 72-km elevated metro rail in Hyderabad, said the project is likely to see a cost escalation of between Rs 2,500 crore to Rs 3,000 crore (Rs 25-30 billion).
