The Green Line is a part of the Hyderabad Metro system in Telangana, India.[2] The line is 16.6 km long and spans 15 stations from JBS Parade Ground to Falaknuma.[3] It was funded by a public–private partnership (PPP),[4][5] with the state government holding a minority equity stake.[6] A special purpose vehicle company, L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad Ltd (L&TMRHL), was established by the construction company Larsen & Toubro (L&T)[7][8] to develop the Hyderabad Metro rail project.[9][10]

An 11-kilometre (6.8-mile) stretch of the Green Line from JBS Parade Ground to MG Bus Station, with 9 stations, was inaugurated on 7 February 2020 by Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao,[11] and opened to the public the next day.[1] A 5.6 km southward extension from MG Bus Station to Falaknuma is yet to be completed in the Old City.[1]
