===Initial bidding===
The bidding process was completed by July 2008 and awarded to [[Maytas]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.financialexpress.com/archive/maytas-nava-consortium-wins-bid-for-hyderabad-metro-rail/341704/|title=Maytas-Nava consortium wins bid for Hyderabad Metro Rail|date=29 July 2008|website=The Financial Express}}</ref> which failed to achieve financial closure for the project as per schedule by March 2009.

===Re-bidding ===
The [[Nallari Kiran Kumar Reddy]] government cancelled the contract and called for a fresh rebidding for the project. In the July 2010 rebidding process, [[Larsen & Toubro]] (L&T) emerged as the lowest bidder for the {{INRConvert|121.32|b}} project.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://mohua.gov.in/upload/uploadfiles/files/Hyderabad%20Metro%20Rail%20MRTS%20Project.pdf |title=2010 concessionaire agreement between L&T and AP Govt}}</ref> L&T came forward to take up the work for about {{INRConvert|14.58|b}} as viability gap funding as against the sanctioned {{INRConvert|48.53|b}}. Kiran's government proactively pursued the project, but it was delayed due to separate state agitation and later due to the apprehensions of the new government.
