Hyderabad Metro Secures Major Loan Refinancing Deal

Hyderabad Metro has taken a major step toward strengthening its long term financial position with the signing of a large refinancing agreement valued at Rs 13600 crore. The move is expected to provide greater financial stability and support future growth plans for the city’s public transportation network.

The agreement was signed between Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited and IRFC in New Delhi in the presence of senior officials including Telangana Chief Secretary K Ramakrishna Rao and IRFC Chairman and Managing Director Manoj Kumar Dubey. Under the arrangement, financial support will be provided through a repayment structure spread across 20 years with quarterly payments.

Officials said the refinancing plan is designed to ease the financial burden while creating a stronger foundation for improving urban mobility. The deal is also expected to help Hyderabad Metro continue its role in expanding modern transportation facilities across the city.

Speaking on the occasion, Chief Secretary Ramakrishna Rao stated that ownership has now been fully transferred to the government. He emphasized that the administration remains focused on improving urban transport and building infrastructure that can meet the demands of a rapidly growing city.

He further noted that Hyderabad is emerging as an important contributor to India’s economic growth and that stronger metro connectivity can play a major role in reducing traffic congestion while improving travel convenience for passengers.

The Telangana government also expressed gratitude to the Government of India, IRFC, L and T, and Hyderabad Metro teams for their cooperation in completing the refinancing process. Authorities said the broader goal remains the development of an efficient and sustainable public transport system for the city.
