Larsen & Toubro has divested its entire stake in L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited for ₹1,461.47 crore, marking a full exit from the project. This transition allows the Government of Telangana to take over operational control of the metro network, which has a debt burden exceeding ₹13,500 crore. The deal is expected to complete by June 2026.
This divestment reflects a significant shift in ownership, moving away from the public-private partnership model and indicating a consolidation of public management in urban transit.
