The Regional Ring Road is a planned second ring road around Hyderabad, well outside the ORR. It appears in almost every plot advertisement in the outer districts. As of October 2026 construction has not started on either part, and the two parts are at very different stages.

Northern part
- Bids were first invited on 11 November 2025. By August 2026 the deadline had been extended six times; reports in October 2026 said tenders were still waiting for clearance from the Union Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs.
- Over 90% of the land acquisition is reported complete. The State shares half of the land cost and allocated ₹1,525 crore for it in the 2026–27 budget.
- The design was changed from an access-controlled expressway to a standard national highway with a 100 km/h design speed.
- Reported cost estimates differ between reports (₹8,535 crore in April 2026; ₹23,935.6 crore in August 2026). Treat any single figure with care.
Southern part
- The State Cabinet approved alignment options on 23 June 2025 and sent a revised alignment to the road ministry on 25 February 2026. Central approval was still pending in October 2026.
- Farmers have protested the alignment changes.
- The government has asked HMDA to include the southern stretch in the expanded Hyderabad Metropolitan Region.
What it means if you are buying here
- "On the RRR" usually means on a proposed alignment. Ask for the village and survey number and compare it with the official notification, not a brochure map.
- Land inside the notified road width will be acquired. Check that the plot is not in it.
- Northern-part villages have more certainty than southern-part villages, where the alignment can still change.
- No completion date has been published for either part.
