The State government has already formed a special purpose vehicle- Hyderabad Airport Metro Limited (HAML) which would be responsible for the development, construction, operations, and management of the airport Metro link.

The GMR group, operating the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) here, had earlier said the group would invest about 10 percent of the total cost of the metro rail link project being proposed by the Telangana government for connectivity to the aerodrome from various parts of the city.
