TheOuter Ring Road (ORR) is aring road that runs around most of the perimeter of the city ofBengaluru,Karnataka,India. This 60-kilometre-long (37 mi) road[1] was developed by theBengaluru Development Authority and different sections were opened progressively between 1996 and 2002. IT firms on the Outer Ring Road generate revenue ofUS$ 22 billion every year, accounting for 32% ofBengaluru’s total IT revenue.[2]
The Outer Ring Road connects all major highways around the city – Tumakuru Road (NH 48), Airport Road (NH 44), Old Madras Road (NH 75),Hosur Road (NH 44),Bannerghatta Road (SH 87),Kanakapura Road (NH 948),Mysuru Road (NH 275) and Magadi Road (SH 85). It passes through major neighborhoods and suburbs such asHebbala,Banaswadi,Krishnarajapura,Mahadevapura,Marathahalli,HSR Layout,Madiwala,BTM Layout,JP Nagar,Banashankari,Kengeri,Bengaluru University,Nagarbhavi, Nandini Layout, Kengeri Satellite Town and Gokula.
Initially conceived to keep the truck traffic out of downtown Bengaluru, the city has outgrown the Outer Ring Road. Nandi Infrastructure Corporation Limited has almost completed another partial ring road around Bengaluru as a part of theBengaluru–Mysuru Infrastructure Corridor (BMIC) project. TheBDA andBMRDA have planned three more ring roads beyond the existing ring road. The first of these, thePeripheral Ring Road (PRR) will run a few kilometres beyond the BMIC-PRR. The second and third of these will be known as the Intermediate Ring Road (IRR) and the Satellite Towns Ring Road (STRR) respectively.[3]
