Also, IT and ITeS companies working in Cyberabad-HiTec City, Madhapur and in surrounding areas have agreed to begin shuttle services to/from the metro rail stations of HiTec City, Durgam Cheruvu and others to ferry their employees. Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) managing director N.V.S. Reddy added that this facility will be launched “at an early date."
Metro train operations for the Ameerpet-Hi Tec City stretch of Corridor III were recently flagged off by Governor E S L Narasimhan on 20 March (2019) at Ameerpet metro interchange station.
