The Public Undertakings Committee of the Assembly has expressed satisfaction at the progress of Hyderabad Metro Rail work.

At the PUC meeting held in the Assembly on Tuesday, its Chairman Adala Prabhakar Reddy of the Congress and other members sought to know the status of the on-going works. They reportedly asked as to why HMR did not consider an underground railway project. HMR Managing Director N.V.S. Reddy is understood to have told the panel that HMR was taken up as a world class project, which would be among the top 10 metro rails in the World once completed.

He said that going by the pace of the work, the project would be commissioned ahead of its schedule.
