The Hyderabad Multi-Modal Transport System, commonly abbreviated as MMTS, is a
History
The Hyderabad MMTS project has been conceived as a joint venture between the Government of India and the Government of Andhra Pradesh (retrospectively referred to as Government of United Andhra Pradesh) with a MoU signed in September 2000.[7] The first phase was opened to the public on 9 August 2003 by then Deputy Prime Minister of India L.K. Advani at Bhoiguda.[8][9] The planning and commencement of the work was inaugurated by the then Chief Minister of United Andhra Pradesh N. Chandrababu Naidu.[10] The system initially consisted of three lines, with total length of 44 kilometres (27 mi). In May 2010, Indian Railways decided to take over the 104 kilometre (65 mi) as part of the Phase II at an estimated cost of ₹ 641 crore. The Railway Board cleared the approval of the second phase after the state government agreed to fund two-thirds of the project cost.[11]
Although the Phase-II was scheduled to operate by 2018, it was delayed due to various reasons and was finally opened on 8 April 2023 after 20 years from the Phase-I by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Secunderabad Junction after the operation of a smaller stream in 2019.[12]
Phase-I
The first phase was completed at a cost of ₹1.62 billion (US$22 million), and it was inaugurated on 9 August 2003 by Deputy Prime Minister of India L. K. Advani.[13] The project complements the city's rapid growth in information technology, biotechnology, health, aviation and tourism. This phase was completed in two streams, the first stream of MMTS between Hyderabad, Lingampalli and Secunderabad with a distance of 29 kilometres (18 mi) covering 17 stations. The second steam of MMTS between Secunderabad and Falaknuma, covering a distance of 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) with 11 stations was completed the next year, totalling the number of stations to 27 with Secunderabad being the biggest interchange of the 44-kilometre (27 mi) network.[14] The network also consists of the coverage of other areas such as Bolarum towards Manoharabad and Umdanagar which was not completely integrated into the MMTS network. Although many other routes and stations were available, the process of electrification of these other routes were included in the Phase-II.[15]
Phase-II
The
The Phase II was stalled for over a decade owing to lack of funds. The Union Government allocated ₹ 600 crore as part of the Union budget (2023-24) towards it for resumption of phase II works. Over time, the sanctioned cost has been escalated to ₹ 1,150 crores.[19]
On 9 June 2019 as part of the Phase II project the first stream between Tellapur and R. C. Puram with a distance of 6-kilometre was started and opened for the public.[20][21][22]
On 8 April 2023 13 MMTS services along with 2 other routes under the MMTS Phase II between Secunderabad Bolarum Medchal with a distance of 28-kilometre along with the extension from Falaknuma to Umdanagar with a distance of 12-kilometre was inaugurated by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi totalling to 90-kilometre and 44 stations under the MMTS project.[23][24][25]

Milestones
- On International Women's Day 2012, S. Satyavati was South Central Railway's first female driver, when she drove the MMTS Matrubhumi Ladies Special Train from Falaknuma to Lingampally.[28]
- HYLITES (Hyderabad Live Train Enquiry System), a mobile app for MMTS station and train inquiries, was introduced.
- UTS stands for Unreserved Ticketing System. It is an app launched by Indian Railways' subsidiary body CRIS in 2014 to generate or cancel unreserved train tickets, book seasonal tickets, renew passes, and purchase platform tickets. The initiative saves passengers from getting into long queues to take Printed Card Tickets (PCTs) for local train travel or platform visits
