Metro train operations for the Ameerpet-Hi Tec City stretch of Corridor III will be flagged off by Governor E S L Narasimhan on 20 March (Wednesday) at Ameerpet metro interchange station, and daily train operations are expected to begin from 4 pm on the same day.

The initial frequency of trains on this route will be 9-12 minutes against six minutes in other metro corridors. However, three stations Madhapur, Peddammagudi, and Jubilee Hills Check Post shall not be open for public currently in order to maintain speed and frequency.

Currently efforts are underway to improve the frequency on this stretch which is expected to see a lot of customer demand.
