Telangana CM Requests Prompt Appointment of SBI CAPS for Hyderabad Metro Rail Valuation and Financing
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has urged the Central Government to promptly assign SBI Capital Markets Limited (SBI CAPS) the task of valuing Hyderabad Metro Rail Phase I, refinancing its debt, and structuring financing for Phase II. Despite a June 24 agreement involving Union Ministers to appoint SBI CAPS for these roles, the assignment remains pending. The delay is causing operational uncertainty, affecting Phase II project approvals, and potentially increasing costs due to time overruns.
