How Hyderabad Metro is organised
Hyderabad Metro Rail operates Blue, Red and Green lines, with three interchanges connecting the network.
The Blue Line runs between Nagole and Raidurg via Secunderabad and Ameerpet. The Red Line connects Miyapur and L B Nagar through Ameerpet, Nampally and MG Bus Station. The Green Line runs from JBS Parade Ground to MG Bus Station via Secunderabad.
Ameerpet connects the Red and Blue lines, while MG Bus Station links the Red and Green. Parade Ground, also labeled JBS Parade Ground on the network map, connects the Blue and Green lines. At Parade Ground, platform 1 serves Blue Line trains towards Raidurg and platform 2 serves trains towards Nagole.
The map uses each line’s color and marks interchanges, termini, railway and MMTS links, bus stations and airport-shuttle service icons. Use the interchange symbols to identify where you can change lines.
Which Hyderabad Metro stations serve central Hyderabad?
Nampally, Gandhi Bhavan and Assembly are central-city stations on the Red Line.
The Red Line also stops at MG Bus Station. For nearby central areas served by the Green Line, the map labels Sultan Bazaar, Narayanaguda, Chikkadpally, RTC X Roads and Musheerabad. Check the station name against your destination before choosing a line, especially if your trip requires a change.
Gandhi Bhavan and Nampally serve central Hyderabad on the Red Line. A hotel in central Hyderabad near both stations puts these stations within reach on foot.
Using metro maps, fares and tickets
Hyderabad Metro offers paper QR tickets, smart cards, digital QR tickets and tokens.
Before travelling, confirm the current fare and ticket conditions with Hyderabad Metro Rail, as fare charts and ticket rules can change. The operator’s fare information includes more than one fare chart, so check which fares apply when planning your trip rather than relying on an old fare figure.
One child below 90 cm may travel without a ticket when accompanied by an adult. The operator says tickets are valid for one business day from the purchase date; its ticketing instructions also specify where and when a ticket must be used. Check these terms before you buy.
For station accessibility, Hyderabad Metro Rail says its stations have wheelchair-accessible automatic fare gates and wheelchairs available on request through station customer care. Tactile floor signage supports navigation for visually impaired passengers; trains also have reserved seats for passengers with disabilities and digital screens showing real-time travel information for passengers with hearing impairments.
Connecting with buses, autos and taxis
Metro connections include bus links, and the best onward option depends on your station and destination.
At Parade Ground station, a bus stop is within walking distance at Arm B, on the Sangeeth X Roads side, and paid parking is available for two- and four-wheelers.
Weekday SVIDA feeder services run from Arm B: Route 1 goes to Radhika X Roads, Route 2 to Neredmet X Roads and Route 3 to G K Colony (R K Puram Bus Stop).
Those feeder services have set morning operating windows and fares, so confirm the current details with Hyderabad Metro Rail before relying on them. For other onward connections, check local bus, auto-rickshaw or taxi availability at your station.
If you are arriving by rail, the Nampally station and Gandhi Bhavan area can help you orient yourself around central Hyderabad’s transport links.
Routes from the hotel area
Gandhi Bhavan and Nampally stations provide access to the Red Line from the hotel area.
For a Red Line journey, start at Gandhi Bhavan or Nampally and check the map for your destination and any interchange. A trip involving the Blue Line may require changing at Ameerpet; one involving the Green Line may require a change at MG Bus Station. The Blue–Green interchange is at Parade Ground.
Checking service changes before setting out
Check Hyderabad Metro Rail’s official service and ticket information before you travel.
The operator gives first trains as 06:00 and last trains at terminal stations as 23:00 on the Red and Blue lines and 23:35 on the Green Line. Service details and ticket conditions can change, so check the official site before you go.
