The Hyderabad Regional Ring Road (RRR) is a massive infrastructure project underway in Telangana, India. This ambitious plan aims to create a 340-kilometer 6-lane expressway circling the city of Hyderabad. The RRR plan is strengthening the existing road network, making it one of the major projects in Hyderabad. This RRR plan covers 13+ major cities of Telangana.
What is RRR (Regional Ring Road)
| Name | Hyderabad Regional Ring Road (HRRR) |
| Length | 340+ |
| Phases | Northern=160+ Southern=180+ |
| Lanes | 6 |
| Districts Covers | Ranga Reddy. Bhuvanagiri (Yadadri- Bhuvanagiri) Siddipet Medak Sangareddy |
| Total Cities Covered | 12+ Cities |
The Hyderabad Regional Ring Road (RRR) is designed to be a modern expressway. This road will strengthen the existing Outer Ring Road and cover more than 13 cities. Unlike regular roads, it will have limited entry and exit points, allowing for faster and safer travel. Think of it as a high-speed loop around Hyderabad, efficiently connecting various districts and towns.
This total RRR project costs more than ₹16,000 crore, with the central and state governments sharing the cost equally (50% each).
Key Points of RRR
- Length and Lanes: The RRR is a planned 6-lane expressway with a total length of 340 kilometers.
- Purpose: It aims to bypass Hyderabad city, functioning as an alternative route for long-distance traffic and reducing congestion within the city. This will improve travel times and connectivity between districts around Hyderabad.
- Cost: The project is estimated to cost around Rs. 26,000 crores.
- Connectivity: The RRR will connect various important national highways including NH-44, NH-164, NH-65, NH-765, NH-63, SH-1, and SH-19.
- Phases: The construction is planned in two phases – northern and southern halves.
- Interchanges: There will be 8+ new interchanges connecting the RRR to the existing Outer Ring Road (ORR).
Why is the RRR being built?
- Strengthening Connectivity: Hyderabad’s existing road network, including the Outer Ring Road (ORR), is nearing capacity. The RRR will provide much-needed relief by decongesting existing roads and offering alternative routes for long-distance travel.
- Boosting Regional Development: The RRR’s path will connect several towns and districts surrounding Hyderabad. This improved connectivity is expected to spur economic growth in these areas by attracting businesses and industries.
- Linking Major Highways: The RRR will act as a crucial link between various national highways (NH) and state highways (SH) passing through the region, including NH 44, NH 65, and NH 163. This will improve movement of goods and people across the state.

What’s the current status of the RRR?
The RRR is a large-scale project divided into two sections: northern and southern. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is overseeing the construction under the Bharatmala Pariyojana initiative. As of March 2024, the project is still in the initial stages. A major hurdle is land acquisition, with the Telangana government expediting the process to meet its completion deadlines.
The Hyderabad Regional Ring Road is a great visionary project started for Telangana. While it experiences some challenges, it is steadily improving construction works. Mainly, the RRR boosts economic growth and creates a more efficient transportation network for Hyderabad and Telangana. We hope it completes as soon as possible.
