If Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority's plans materialise, only high-rise buildings with minimum 40 metre height will be encouraged in 'influence zones' (an area in a radius of 300 to 800 metres) around metro rail and MMTS stations soon. Also, mixed land use, where property developers can exploit real estate for commercial, residential, recreational and other purposes, will be allowed in these zones.
The HMDA has prepared development regulations (building rules) for 19 proposed influence zones in the city. The authority has already decided to promote Transit Oriented Development (TOD) around the metro rail stations. To take it further, the development regulations have been formulated by the HMDA.
Officials said the influence zones would focus on all-round development. In the influence zones, commercial space, budget hotels, coffee shops, day-care facilities, restaurants, service apartments, hospitals, cyber cafes, health clubs, entertainment centres apart from residential purpose would be allowed. Banquet halls, car showrooms, bus depots, electrical sub-station and automobile repair shops would not be permitted in the zones.
Mokila, a suburb of Hyderabad, is a quiet expanse of green about 16KM offering a picturesque countryside environment. It is located along the Shankarpally Rd and is fast becoming the luxurious residential destination. This blog is created to share information on Mokila and stay connected!

Hyderabad Metro Rail(HMR) Work To Begin In Multiple Places
Of the 80 junctions where the elevated track atop the viaduct will be constructed across, 28 junctions require longer obligatory spans involving on the spot construction.
Brace up for tough commuting days ahead with construction of the Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) project work beginning on viaducts crossing the road junctions. Work had begun at the Uppal crossroads and the Habsiguda junction.
Once supervising engineers of HMR and concessionaire L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad (L&TMRH) gain expertise from these two spans, work on taking up five to eight road junctions crossovers across the three metro corridors in one go will be attempted, said HMR Managing Director N.V.S. Reddy on Sunday.

L&T Metro Rail in talks with IIFCL to raise Rs 1000 crore
L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) is in talks with India Infrastructure Finance Co Ltd to raise Rs 1,000 crore through the external commercial borrowing (ECB) route for the city's metro rail project.
"Continuous dialogue is on with IIFCL (India Infrastructure Finance Co Ltd). It has progressed quite well and raising a Rs 1,000-crore loan should happen in couple of months," L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Ltd Chief Executive and Managing Director V B Gadgil, told reporters here today.
"There will be saving of around 5 per cent on interest rates. The advantage of ECB is that we get long-term loans ranging for 25 years," he said.
L&T is developing the Rs 16,500-crore Hyderabad Metro Rail project, which is the biggest urban infrastructure project undertaken as a public-private partnership in India.

Away from the public gaze, work is on at the Uppal depot on an 8-kilometre long ground-level track.
An eight kilometre railway track on the ground is being laid inside the Uppal Metro depot, to function as a test track for Metro trains before services begin on the elevated sections.
Running of Metro trains will be first simulated on the track, supported by the traditional ballast and equipped with the latest communications and signalling network.
