RRR North Corridor Cost Rises to Rs 156.27 Bn

24 Nov 2025 CW Team

The estimated cost of the northern section of the Regional Ring Road (RRR) in Telangana has risen to Rs 156.27 billion after the submission of a revised Detailed Project Report. The earlier estimate for this part of the project stood at around Rs 75.6 billion, indicating a significant escalation driven by updated land acquisition requirements and construction costs.

The northern RRR spans 158 km and covers areas including Toopran, Gajwel, Jagdevpur, Bhuvanagiri, and Choutuppal. The revision includes updated compensation values for land, structures, and resettlement provisions, contributing substantially to the higher overall cost. The project aims to ease regional connectivity, promote industrial expansion, and support future urban development around Hyderabad.

The RRR project is being developed in two parts — the northern and southern corridors — to create a 360-km ring around the city. With the revised estimates now submitted, officials are expected to proceed with approvals and tendering processes to expedite execution.
