Hyderabad Metro is in Secant Operational model. It is being implemented entirely on public-private partnership (PPP) basis, with the state government holding a minority equity stake. The 30 km stretch from Miyapur to Nagole, no other rapid transit metro service opened for public operations on such a long stretch of 30 kms. It is estimated to cost Rs. 15,000 crore.
