L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Ltd announced on Monday that a section of the Metro rail line, which is part of the 30-km-long stretch to be commissioned during the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Hyderabad on November 28, has secured approvals before seeking safety nod.
DVS Raju, Chief Electrical Inspector, Government of India, conducted the statutory inspection of Overhead Electric Traction System between Begumpet and Mettuguda Metro stations and accorded sanction for its energisation.
The traction system is fed from the 132Kv/25Kv receiving substation of the Hyderabad Metro Rail at Uppal depot. Incoming supply to this RSS is drawn from 220Kv/132Kv main substation of Transco.
After conducting the inspection, Raju said, “Energisation of the OETS will facilitate conducting of oscillation tests of the Metro trains by Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO), Ministry of Railways. The RDSO team will conduct tests in this section and issue a certificate on satisfactory tests. Thereafter, trial runs in this section will be conducted.”
The sections from Nagole to Mettuguda and Miyapur to SR Nagar have already been energised and trial runs completed.
“It is a move in the right direction as we can proceed with the rest of the statutory tests, in our endeavour to bring the services of Metro Rail to the people of Hyderabad at the earliest,” Shivanand Nimbargi, MD CEO, LTMRHL, said in a statement.
