04 Mar 2025 CW Team

The Telangana government is set to launch the 41.5-km Ratan Tata Road, a Rs 40.3 billion Greenfield Radial Road project aimed at enhancing urban mobility and infrastructure. The road will connect the Outer Ring Road (ORR) at the Tata Interchange in Raviryal with the Regional Ring Road (RRR) at Amangal, improving connectivity and development across the region.

Traversing six mandals and 14 villages in the Rangareddy district, the project will be executed in two phases: the 19.2-km stretch from ORR to Meerkhanpet at Rs 16.65 billion, and the 22.3-km stretch from Meerkhanpet to RRR at Rs 23.65 billion. The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) and Hyderabad Growth Corridor Limited (HGCL) will oversee its implementation.

Designed as a six-lane access-controlled expressway, the road will have a 100-metre-wide layout, including service roads, greenbelts, cycle tracks, footpaths, and utility corridors, with provisions for future expansion to eight lanes. A central median has been reserved for potential metro or railway corridors, ensuring the project’s long-term sustainability.

Bids for the project will be invited on February 28, with technical bids set to open on March 21. The Ratan Tata Road is expected to reduce congestion, support equitable urban development, and provide efficient transport for residents and businesses, reflecting Telangana’s commitment to eco-friendly and future-ready infrastructure.
