Photograph of the Outer
Ring Road today, looking
towards Hi-Tech City. While
Fayazuddin imagined the
ORR to be bound by a
mile-wide green belt, today
the road is the epicentre of
growth in Hyderabad. The
Draft HDMA Master Plan
2031 envisions the ORR as
a “Growth Corridor”
encouraging a one-
kilometre-wide band of
construction on either side
of the freeway.
