Currently, there is no operational metro line directly connecting Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) to the city center.

Hyderabad Airport Express Metro: Under Construction

While a direct metro service is not yet available, a dedicated project, the Hyderabad Airport Express Metro, is actively under construction to establish this vital connectivity. The foundation stone for this ambitious project was laid on December 9, 2022, at Mindspace Junction.

Key details about the Hyderabad Airport Express Metro project include:

  • Project Name: Hyderabad Airport Express Metro
  • Foundation Stone Laid: December 9, 2022
  • Approximate Cost: ₹6,250 crore (US$750 million)
  • Funding: Telangana State Government
  • Estimated Completion: Beginning of 2026

This government-funded initiative aims to provide seamless and rapid transit between the airport and the city center once completed, significantly enhancing travel convenience for commuters and travelers.

Current Transportation Options to/from Hyderabad Airport

Until the metro line becomes operational, travelers can utilize several other modes of transport to commute between Hyderabad Airport and various parts of the city:

  • Pushpak Airport Liner (TSRTC Buses): These air-conditioned luxury buses operate frequently, connecting the airport to major city hubs like Begumpet, Secunderabad, and Gachibowli.
  • App-based Cabs: Services like Ola and Uber are readily available for booking rides to and from the airport.
  • Prepaid Taxis: Government-authorized prepaid taxi services offer a convenient option, with fixed fares to different zones.
  • Rental Cars: Car rental services are also available for those preferring self-drive options.
