Telangana’s Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy says the state is ready to take up Metro Rail Phase 2 using 100% state equity. In making the offer, the Chief Minister asks the Union government to issue a No Objection Certificate (NoC), which is presented as a prerequisite for starting the expansion work. The request is framed as enabling Telangana to proceed with the Metro Rail Phase 2 project without relying on central funding. The statement focuses on the state’s willingness to finance the project fully and on the need for the Center’s clearance to move forward. The reporting indicates that the proposal is intended to accelerate implementation by allowing the state to begin procurement and execution steps once the NoC is granted. Beyond the funding and clearance request, the available coverage does not provide additional details such as the project’s timeline, total cost, or specific route changes for Phase 2.
