Project Overview

Programme Summary

Sun Railings supplied stainless steel and glass railing systems — stainless steel railings and glass railings for the Hyderabad Metro Rail network — one of India’s largest urban transit infrastructure programmes. The scope covered station platform railing and handrail systems across all 46 stations, delivered in coordination with Larsen & Toubro (L&T) Metro Rail construction programmes including Stations Stage-1 through Stage-6 and the Uppal Depot.

Client / Project Context

Sector Requirements & Programme Background

Hyderabad Metro Rail operates high-traffic elevated and at-grade stations where platform edge safety, passenger circulation and visual openness are simultaneous programme requirements. Transit contractors and PMC teams specify railing systems that withstand daily metro usage, resist corrosion in open-air station environments, and integrate glass panels for station visibility without compromising barrier integrity.

Sun Railings contributed to L&T Metro Rail station handrail programmes across multiple construction stages. Portfolio evidence includes L&T Metro Rail – Stations’ Hand Rail – Stage-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and L&T Metro Rail – Uppal Depot from the company’s delivered project record. Factory fabrication at Jeedimetla Industrial Estate supported phased release aligned to station commissioning milestones.

Scope of Work

Systems & Zones Delivered

Drawing-based scope from consultant-approved specifications and contractor BOQ packages. The following zones and system types are documented in the Sun Railings Hyderabad Metro Rail project record.

Platform Edge Railing

SS structural members with glass infill panels along elevated and at-grade station platforms

Station Circulation Handrails

High-traffic circulation zones within station concourses and access corridors

Stage-Phased Delivery

Programme aligned to L&T Metro Rail station stages from Stage-1 through Stage-6

Depot Infrastructure

Handrail scope at Uppal Depot within the broader metro construction programme

Materials & Systems Used

Specification & Compliance

Railing systems were fabricated from high-quality stainless steel structural members with glass panel infill as documented in the Hyderabad Metro Rail portfolio. SS members are specified for corrosion resistance under daily metro usage. Glass panels provide station area visibility while maintaining platform edge barriers along high-traffic and elevated platform zones.

Compliance documentation aligned to IS 875 Part 2 structural requirements, IS 2553 glass certification where glass infill is specified, and NBC 2016 balustrade height confirmation. Mill test certificates and material test documentation are supplied for PMC and contractor handover on infrastructure programmes.

Project Outcomes

Programme Results & Authority

The Hyderabad Metro Rail programme established glass and stainless steel railing — glass railings and stainless steel railings across all 46 stations — setting a documented reference for urban transit safety and station design in Sun Railings infrastructure portfolio. Delivery spanned L&T-coordinated station stages and Uppal Depot, demonstrating capacity for large-scale, multi-stage transit infrastructure programmes from a single fabrication base.

For EPC contractors, metro developers and transit PMC teams evaluating platform railing suppliers, this programme provides named evidence of Hyderabad Metro Rail delivery at full network station scale.
