Raidurg Metro Station is located on the Blue Line of the Hyderabad Metro.[1][2] The station was opened on 29 November 2019, two years after first commercial operation of Hyderabad metro started. It is located near Raheja Mindspace Junction.[3] Raidurg metro station is one of the busiest metro stations in Hyderabad with daily footfalls of around 25,000 commuters.[4] In February 2020, Synchrony Financial became the sponsor of the Raidurg metro station, under semi-naming policy of Hyderabad metro to generate non-fare revenues.

Raidurg station is terminal point of Blue Line,[5] from where Phase 2 airport route will commence.[6] This station was proposed in 2012.[7] Initially, the metro rail was supposed to terminate at Shilparamam but as it was found to be a lake bed,[8] the line was extended by a kilometre to Raidurg where a 15-acre site was earmarked.[9] Raidurg station is opposite Lemon Tree Hotel and TCS Deccan Park. It is 1.6 km from Biodiversity park, Hyderabad.[10] L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad Limited is planning to build Hyderabad's biggest mall (of about one million square feet) near Raidurg metro station.[11][12] Mindspace underpass was constructed as part of Strategic road development plan (SRDP), near which Raidurg metro station is being built.[13]
