HMDA proposes third radial road to connect Hyderabad’s ORR with RRR

The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) has proposed a third radial road to strengthen connectivity between the Outer Ring Road (ORR) and the Regional Ring Road (RRR), as part of the city's expanding infrastructure network.

The proposed 42-km, six-lane greenfield radial road will connect the Shamirpet–Keesara stretch with the Nagpur Greenfield Highway near the Regional Ring Road. The project is estimated to cost around ₹5,000 crore and is envisaged as a major transport corridor linking Hyderabad's northern growth areas with the emerging regional highway network.

According to the proposal, the road will have a 100-metre-wide right of way and will be developed in two phases. The two stretches are indicated as approximately 20 km and 23 km respectively, taking the overall proposed length to around 42 km.

The corridor is expected to improve access between the ORR and RRR, reduce dependence on existing arterial roads and provide smoother movement for passenger and commercial traffic. Its strategic location could also support industrial development, logistics facilities and new economic activity along the northern outskirts of Hyderabad.

The Shamirpet and Keesara regions are emerging as important areas in Hyderabad's expanding metropolitan landscape. Improved road connectivity could enhance their accessibility and strengthen links with industrial, commercial and residential developments in the surrounding districts.

The proposed project is part of the broader effort to develop radial connectivity around Hyderabad, complementing the ORR and the planned RRR. If implemented, the new corridor could play an important role in distributing traffic across the city's expanding road network and supporting growth beyond the existing urban limits.

However, the proposal's implementation will depend on the completion of detailed planning, land acquisition, approvals and funding arrangements. The estimated project cost and proposed timelines will need to be confirmed as the project progresses.
