Rs 4,030 Crore Greenfield Radial Road Planned To Transform Hyderabad’s Southern Growth Corridor

A 41.5 km greenfield radial road is set to link the Raviryal Interchange on Hyderabad’s Outer Ring Road (ORR) with the proposed Regional Ring Road (RRR) near Amangal, The New Indian Express reported.

Designed as a partially access‑controlled expressway with 3+3 lanes and expandable to 4+4 in the future, the project will reserve a central median for a potential metro or railway line, along with green buffers, pedestrian paths and dedicated cycle tracks.

Officials confirmed that the chosen alignment largely avoids thickly populated zones, thereby reducing displacement and facilitating faster execution. The Rs 4,030 crore project will be taken up in two phases.

Phase‑1, running 19.2 km from Raviryal to Meerkhanpet, is pegged at Rs 1,665 crore for construction, with an additional Rs 246 crore earmarked for land acquisition.

Phase‑2 will cover 22.3 km from Meerkhanpet to Amangal, costing Rs 2,365 crore for works and Rs 345 crore for land. In total, 1,003.61 acres are required, including 202 acres of Telangana Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TGIIC) land and 231.72 acres of forest land.

Financial bids, opened recently on the state’s e‑procurement platform, saw Phase‑1 awarded to Rithwik Projects Pvt Ltd, which quoted 3.93 per cent above the Estimated Contract Value (ECV).

Larsen & Toubro Ltd bagged Phase‑2 with a bid 4.2 per cent above ECV.

The development, however, has sparked political debate, with the Opposition BRS alleging a quid pro quo arrangement, pointing out that Rithwik Projects is linked to the family of Andhra Pradesh BJP MP C M Ramesh.

Beyond improving road connectivity, the radial route has been aligned with the proposed Hyderabad Metro Phase 2‑B, from Shamshabad to Bharath Future City via Raviryal.

Officials said the synchronisation of the road and metro corridors would help reserve the right of way, thus avoiding future land acquisition hurdles.

Authorities believe the corridor will accelerate investments, boost regional economies, and provide seamless multimodal access between Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA), E‑City, and the proposed Bharath Future City.
