Days after it announced a fare hike, the L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited (L&TMRHL) on Tuesday announced a 10 per cent discount on the newly revised fares, across all fare zones in all three Metro corridors. The new fares will come into effect from Saturday.
The L&TMRHL, which built and operates the Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL), had recently announced a travel fare hike ranging from Rs 2 on the minimum fare of Rs 10 to Rs 15 on the existing maximum fare of Rs 60, effective from May 17. The hike announcement was the first ever for the Metro since its inception 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.
“In alignment with passenger feedback and welfare, we have decided to provide a 10 per cent discount on the newly revised fares, across all fare zones in all three Metro corridors from 24 May 2025, demonstrating our dedication to making daily commuting more accessible. 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 fare revision was introduced based on the recommendations of the Fare Fixation Committee and as part of a comprehensive strategy to ensure the long-term sustainability of Metro operations and maintenance.
