Nagole to Hi-Tec City Metro link gains pace

Hyderabad: The officials at the L&T Metro Rail are upbeat as the Overhead Electric Traction System (OETS) between Ameerpet to Hi-Tec City is in place. Recently, DVS Raju, Chief Electrical Inspector (CEIG), Government of India, for Hyderabad Metro Rail, conducted the statutory inspection of the OETS. The traction system is fed from the 132kV/25kV Receiving Substation (RSS) of the Hyderabad Metro Rail at Yousufguda and Uppal. Incoming supply to this RSS is drawn from 220kV/132kV main substation of TS TRANSCO. Energization of the OETS will facilitate movement of trains for trial runs from Ameerpet to Hi-Tec City. 

This will also enable testing of various systems of the Hyderabad Metro Rail. L&T Metro Rail is moving ahead to complete all statutory requirements on the Ameerpet to Hi-Tec City stretch at the earliest to make the system ready for commissioning and inauguration. This will facilitate complete connectivity from Nagole to Hi-Tec City.
