Since Warangal, the second-biggest city in the State after Hyderabad, transforming day by day, the State government decided to take up the Metro Neo Rail project in Warangal. A 17-km long rail project connecting Kazipet railway station to Warangal railway station via Petrol Pump, Hanamkonda Chowrasta, Mulugu Road, MGM Centre, Pochamma Maidan, Kashibugga and Venkatrama Junction will be constructed on the elevated corridor.

The State government in consultation with the Union Government will take a decision on the Metro Neo Rail. It has to take a call on the financing modalities on the project too before going for the tenders.
