Hyderabad to Get PRT Corridors on Three Routes to Ease Traffic Congestion

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has directed officials to take immediate steps to introduce the Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system on key routes within Hyderabad's Core Urban Area (CURE). The initiative aims to reduce traffic congestion, shorten travel time and control pollution in the city. During a review meeting with senior officials at Bodhi Pavilion, MCRHRD, the Chief Minister directed them to prioritise a PRT corridor connecting KPHB Metro Station with Durgam Cheruvu, Raheja Mindspace and Biodiversity Metro Station. He instructed officials to complete the tendering process by December and ensure that the PRT system becomes operational along the route within a year.

The Chief Minister also proposed two additional PRT corridors to improve connectivity across the city. One route will connect LB Stadium with Ranigunj Bus Stand via the Ambedkar statue, Indira Park and Lower Tank Bund. Another corridor will link Assembly Metro Station with Begumpet via Ravindra Bharathi, the Secretariat and IMAX. Revanth Reddy directed officials to develop a multi-level parking facility near IKEA in Gachibowli and establish a PRT depot there. A similar multi-level parking facility and PRT depot have been proposed along Necklace Road. The proposed corridors are expected to improve urban mobility and provide faster connectivity across major areas of Hyderabad.
