Hyderabad: If all goes well, employees working in IT companies can use Metro to commute to Mindspace Metro station starting this Diwali.Works relating to the Raidurgam Metro Station is nearing completion and Metro officials say the rest of the works would be completed by October 15.
Due to the construction of an underpass and a flyover of SRDP, work at this station was delayed. Central Chief Electrical Inspector inspections for overhead traction lines have already been completed.
HMRL MD N V S Reddy said that the residual works would be completed by mid-October. The inaugural run could happen between October 15-30, upon approval by the Commission of Railway
Safety (CMRS).
Corridor-3 is the most important component of the Metro Rail first phase project from Nagole to Raidurgam as it has potential to further increase footfalls.
There are lakhs of people working in the IT corridor, though it does not have proper public trans- portation system. If the Metro becomes operational there, it would be helpful for them.
The Metro is currently running up to HI-TEC City and the Raidurgam Metro Station is being constructed at Mindspace, just a kilometer away.
People can avoid congestion from Cyber Towers to Mindspace of about 30minutes with the Metro extension.
