TheHyderabad Outer Ring Road (HORR), officially known asNehru Outer Ring Road is a 158-kilometre (98 mi), eight-lanering roadexpressway encircling Hyderabad, capital of the Indian state ofTelangana. The expressway was designed for speeds up to 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph), later increased to 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph).[1] A large part, 124 kilometres (77 mi) (covering urban nodes viz.,HITEC City,Financial District,Rajiv Gandhi International Airport,Genome Valley, Hardware Park, Telangana State Police Academy, Singapore Financial District, and Games village) of the 158 kilometres (98 mi) was opened by December 2012.[2]
It gives easy connectivity betweenNH 44,NH 65,NH 161,NH 765 andNH 163 fromHyderabad to Vijayawada andWarangal as well as state highways leading toVikarabadNagarjuna Sagar andKarimnagar/Mancherial.[3] The Hyderabad Outer Ring Road also helps reduce the travel time fromRajiv Gandhi International Airport to cities likeNizamabad andAdilabad as it connects to NH44. The expressway is fenced and 33radial roads connect it with theInner Ring Road,[4] and the upcomingRegional Ring Road.
The Hyderabad Outer Ring Road (ORR) project was conceptualised and initiated in 2001 by theTDP government led by Chief MinisterN. Chandrababu Naidu.[5] Construction for the project commenced in 2006 and reaching completion in 2018.[6] Originally, this project was taken up by HUDA (Hyderabad Urban Development Authority) through its internal funding without political intervention of state government.[7] On 3 January 2006, Prime MinisterDr. Manmohan Singh laid the foundation stone for the proposed Outer Ring Road (Phase I) near Shamshabad on the outskirts of Hyderabad.
In December 2022,Government of Telangana planned to monetise the outer ring road through the toll-operate-transfer (TOT) model and generate revenues and called for tenders.[8]

The First Phase land required was 750 acres (3.0 km2), out of which the private land acquired was 500 acres (2.0 km2). The land required for Second Phase is about 5,500 acres (22 km2), of which the Govt. land is about 1,000 acres (4.0 km2). The estimated Cost of Acquisition was ₹250 Crores.
The traffic studies onNH 44 andNH 65 concluded that a four- or six-lane road is due. The traffic movement on the existinginner ring road proved that the existing four-lane road was inadequate. Due to the anticipated growth in the region and the development of proposed satellite townships around the ring road and beyond, an eight-lanecarriageway was planned with a design life of 20 years.
The conclusion was to develop a highway with access control provides highway grade separations or interchanges for all intersecting highways. Once it had been decided to develop the route as an expressway, all intersecting highways should be terminated, rerouted or provided with a grade separation. The proposed corridor was access-controlled and limited access was to be provided at National Highway/SHI Major road crossings. A two-lane service road designed to carry two-way traffic, was proposed on both sides of the corridor. Low level underpasses were to be provided for connecting both the service roads at every 1–2 kilometres (0.62–1.24 mi), where the terrain permits.
Much before the outer ring road (ORR) became a ring road, it underwent several changes in the road alignments. Influential farmers and realtors changed the alignment to best serve their interests at the cost of small and marginal farmers.[16]
TheHigh Court of Andhra Pradesh passed a landmark judgement on 9 September 2010 in which the land acquisition proceedings were quashed for various reasons.[17]
Government of Telangana constructed a 23-kilometre-long (14 mi) cycle track on the Hyderabad Outer Ring Road (HORR) between the main carriageway and service road.[18] The foundation stone was laid by the then Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MAUD)K. T. Rama Rao in September 2022.[19] The cycle track is 8.5 kilometres (5.3 mi) long from Nanakramguda Junction to the Telangana State Police Academy (TSPA) and 14.50 kilometres (9.01 mi) from Narsingi to Kollur covered with solar panel rooftops along the stretch with a capacity of 16 MW.[20] The width of the cycle track is 4.5 metres with one-metre green space on either side. The cycle track is the improved version of the South Korean model, which provides more facilities like lighting, protection from rain, parking and other amenities such as food stalls. A team of officials from HMDA and HGCL had visited South Korea and studied the Cycle Track Project between Daejon and Sejong.
On 31 July 2023,K. T. Rama Rao mentioned thatGovernment of Telangana has proposed a metro corridor of approximately 415 kilometres (258 mi) in length for city of Hyderabad and its peripheral areas, including 156 kilometres (97 mi) of metro network along the Outer Ring Road.[21][22][23]
