While some media houses are busy weaving ridiculous propaganda that L&T is leaving Hyderabad Metro project, HMR today released some images of the Uppal depot being constructed, to show the pace of the works being carried. Here are 4 such pictures.

Hyderabad Metro Rail has planned three maintenance facilities (train depots) for maintenance of trains, rail systems and engineering maintenance vehicles for each of the 3 corridors. These maintenance depots are manned round the clock and are equipped with all facilities and resources required for efficient and effective maintenance of rail system assets. The three depots planned in 72 km rail network of Hyderabad Metro Rail are located at:

Miyapur for Corridor 1 (Miyapur –LB Nagar)
Falaknuma for Corridor 2 (JBS – Falaknuma)
Uppal for Corridor 3 (Shilparamam – Nagole)

The Uppal depot is the main depot cum workshop where the overhaul and corrective maintenance facilities for whole fleet are planned. The other two depots have basic facilities for scheduled preventive maintenance and minor corrective maintenance.
