DPRs for phase-II

The DPRs for phase two of the metro rail construction will soon be submitted to the Government for the same to be forwarded to the Central Government for forming the proposed joint venture to take up the works connecting the international airport, old city and other suburbs. “We are going to play a vital role in making the plans of the Chief Minister to make Hyderabad a global city into a reality,” said Mr. Reddy.
