The project covers construction, operation and maintenance of three high-traffic-density metro rail corridors consisting of 66 stations and about 45 miles of elevated rail viaduct in the city of Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh state.
AECOM, serving in the consortium’s lead role, has won this project with consortium partner Feedback Ventures Private Limited from the concessionaire, L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited, which is part of Larsen & Toubro Limited.
“AECOM is proud to play a role in the enhancement of India’s transportation infrastructure and to see such an undertaking being delivered through the PPP model,” said AECOM President and Chief Executive Officer John M. Dionisio.
The Hyderabad Metro Rail project concession was granted by the Government of Andhra Pradesh. The Metro Rail is expected to commence operation during 2016.
