Hyderabad Metro Update: Days after announcing a fee increase, L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited (L&TMRHL) announced on Tuesday a 10 per cent reduction on the newly updated tariffs across all fare zones in all three Metro routes. The increased prices will go into effect on Saturday.

The L&TMRHL, which developed and runs the Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL), has announced a trip price hike ranging from Rs 2 on the minimum fare of Rs 10 to Rs 15 on the current maximum fare of Rs 60, beginning May 17. The raise announcement was the Metro's first since its debut in November 2017.

“As a responsible urban transit operator, L&TMRHL remains committed to providing efficient and affordable mobility solutions to the people of Hyderabad. While the fare revision was essential for maintaining the sustainability of Metro operations, we understand the importance of minimising the financial impact on our valued passengers,” KVB Reddy, MD and CEO of L&TMRHL, said.

We truly appreciate the continued support of our passengers and assure them of our unwavering commitment to delivering a reliable and commuter-friendly metro experience,” he added.

The fee change was implemented in response to the Fare Fixation Committee's recommendations, as part of a comprehensive strategy to assure the long-term viability of Metro operations and maintenance.
