The Telangana government has announced that the foundation stone for the Hyderabad Regional Ring Road project was laid in October 2024. In August 2024, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy reviewed the project's progress and instructed officials to speed up land acquisition.
Land Acquisition and Development Plans
The northern section of the RRR has seen significant land acquisition progress, while the southern section is still in the early stages. The state government has allocated Rs 1,525 crore for the project and is sharing 50% of the land acquisition costs with the central government.
The expressway will also support the development of:

Hyderabad-Karimnagar Rajiv Highway (Gundanpally near Gouraram)
Hyderabad-Warangal National Highway (Bhuvanagiri)
Hyderabad-Vijayawada Highway (Bangarigadda near Choutuppal)
These interchanges will be designed in a cloverleaf structure for smooth traffic movement.
