L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Ltd announced on Monday that the Railway Safety Commission has given safety clearance for the project.

A team headed by Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety Ram Kripal and members of the Railway Safety Commission inspected various aspects of the metro, including civil works, track, RoB, viaduct, stations, electrical, signalling and train control, telecommunication, and rolling stock among others.
The team conducted speed trials on the Metro train for three days during November 17-19, 2017 and issued clearance for the Mettuguda to SR Nagar route via Ameerpet Interchange Metro Station.
Shivanand Nimbargi, MD & CEO, said in a statement, “The CMRS approval for the Stage 1 – Nagole to Mettuguda and Stage 2 – Miyapur to SR Nagar have already been authorised for commissioning. This is a great moment for team LTMRHL and its partners, who have worked incessantly to make this happen.”
