L&T is the concessionaire for the Rs 14,132-crore project, which has a viability gap component of Rs 1,458-crore. In addition, the State Government is spending Rs 1,980 crore for various related aspects of the project to be completed within five years.

It has sophisticated Computerised Numerically Controlled (CNC) machines which can cut and bend different sizes of steel rods with speed and accuracy.
These machines can be programmed for cutting and bending of the reinforcement rods. The city has only two such plants. The other one is located at Patancheru. Both these plants will help in execution of the mega metro rail project.
