Mr Reddy said that 200 coaches of with international standard will be imported and added that negotiations are on with 12 international companies.
The HMR MD added that the 65 kilometer project, which should have normally taken about seven and half year to be completed, will be completed within 5 years in the city. This will be due to the experience the company has gained in the past, said Mr Reddy.
