Hyderabad: L&T Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) Limited expects to commence trial run for the first phase of the Rs 16,000-crore elevated metro project in the city by the end of June this year, a top official has said.
“The rail coaches from the Hyundai Rotem consortium are expected to arrive in April or May,” said V B Gadgil, Chief Executive and Managing Director, L&T HMR Limited. Disclosing the details, he said the trial-run would commence on the 8-km stretch between Nagole and Mettuguda section and phase-I would be ready for commercial operations by March 2015.
“All efforts at the moment are going on to commission the first stage that is between Nagole and Mettuguda by March 21, 2015. The first train (full train) with three coaches will arrive sometime by April-end or May and that will go for full trials. First, it will be tried at the depot. Then we will take it to the main line,” Gadgil informed.
Replying to a query, Gadgil said the income from real estate would be approximately 50 to 55 per cent in the initial stages and may change according to the ridership.
“It changes. It is not static. In initial years, almost 50-55 per cent is expected to come from real estate and the rest from ridership. When the ridership picks up then the ratio will change over a period of time,” he said.
