Telangana starts work on ₹17,000-cr RRR project

Ring Road Project
The Telangana government has initiated ground work for the construction of a ₹17,000 crore, 340-km regional ring road project. The survey for land acquisition to develop the 158-km northern leg of the project has been completed. Over 4,300 acres of land is required for the northern stretch of the project, extending between Sangareddy, Narsapur, Toopran, Gajwel, Yadadri, Bhongir, Pragnapur and Choutuppal urban clusters. Touted to be the country’s largest ring road, RRR, in all, requires over 9,000 acres of land, including an estimated 5,000 acres to construct its remaining 182-km southern stretch. This would be the highest extent of land acquisition for a road development project in the history of the state, as over 6,000 acres were acquired for the development of the 158-km ORR project. The land required for the northern part of RRR itself is 4,300 acres. The southern part of the expressway extends up to 182-km connecting Choutuppal, Ibrahimpatnam, Kandukur, Amangal, Chevella, Shankarpally and Sangareddy. An official survey to identify the extent of land needed for the southern stretch is yet to be taken up as the proposal is pending with the central government. The new expressway, which would connect a majority of districts in Telangana, is planned to be developed in two parts under the Bharatmala Pariyojana Phase-I program. The state has agreed to bear 50% of the land acquisition cost and has allocated 750 crore in its 2021-2022 Budget.
