Hyderabad Real Estate Growth: ORR Expansion, RRR, Metro Boost Future Prospects
Property prices inside the ORR have become unaffordable for many buyers, with rates shooting up the roof in most areas. Apartments are still affordable for the middle class, but experts warn that buyers may soon need to look beyond the ORR.
Leading builders are launching villa and apartment projects outside the ORR. Older HMDA-approved layouts are also in demand as they are nearly half the price of new ventures, though buyers are advised to verify approvals.
The market is now focused on three major projects:
Regional Ring Road (RRR) – A 340 km ring road connecting the city with districts.
Regional Ring Rail – Proposed rail connectivity around the RRR to boost access to remote areas.
In addition, the Hyderabad Metro will expand to ORR and nearby areas in Phase 2 with new routes like Nagole–Shamshabad Airport and Miyapur–Patancheru. This ₹43,000 crore project could be completed in 5–10 years.
Experts believe these projects will shape Hyderabad's real estate market for years to come.

Domestic pharma industry may face setback if US imposes tariffs
Representational Image India's pharmaceutical industry could be significantly impacted if the proposed 25% US tariff on drug imports is implemented, with the burden expected to fall on exporters. India is one of the largest suppliers of generic medicines to the US, exporting mostly low-complexity generics worth about $9 billion annually. These drugs operate on wafer-thin margins, leaving little room to absorb additional tariffs. The US is heavily reliant on India for its pharmaceutical needs, with around 50% of generic drugs sourced from India. In total, India's drug exports to the US stood over $10.5 billion in the last fiscal. "If imposed, many Indian manufacturers may find the US market financially unviable and scale back or withdraw. This could disrupt the supply of affordable generic drugs in the US, directly affecting patients who rely on them for essential treatments," Namit Joshi, Chairman of Pharmexcil, told TOI. Adding to the pressure is the high cost of compliance: the Indian industry collectively spends nearly $1 billion annually to maintain US FDA-approved facilities and undergo regular audits. A further imposition of tariffs would raise operational costs significantly, making it increasingly difficult for companies to sustain business in the US market, he added. However, analysts say drug formulations and APIs are currently excluded from this tariff, consistent with the April 2025 reciprocal tariff framework, where pharmaceuticals were explicitly exempted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pirates Climb Aboard Cargo Ship - Watch What The Captain Did Next Tips and Tricks Undo Maitri Sheth, Equity Research Analyst - Pharma, Choice Broking, said, "Given the critical nature of healthcare and already elevated healthcare costs in the US, we view the likelihood of material near-term tariffs on pharma as low. That said, we flag the ongoing Section 232 investigation into pharma imports by the US as a medium-term overhang, with the potential for pharma-specific tariffs to be announced in the coming weeks or months. In the absence of clarity on the potential rate and scope of such tariffs, it remains difficult to quantify the impact on Indian pharma players at this stage." Broadly, larger players with manufacturing facilities in the US, like Sun Pharma, are likely to remain broadly insulated, while others anticipate a limited impact, with plans to pass on incremental costs to customers where feasible, analysts say.

Hyderabad Real Estate Growth: ORR Expansion, RRR, Metro Boost Future Prospects
Experts say Hyderabad is ahead of many cities in terms of infrastructure. The Outer Ring Road (ORR), international airport, and metro projects have already transformed the city, and new projects are expected to push real estate growth further. Property prices inside the ORR have become unaffordable for many buyers, with rates shooting up the roof in most areas. Apartments are still affordable for the middle class, but experts warn that buyers may soon need to look beyond the ORR. Leading builders are launching villa and apartment projects outside the ORR.

Autorickshaw union plans to launch app to tackle refusal menace in Mumbai
The Mumbai Rickshawmen's Union on Sunday announced its plan to launch an app aimed at combating the refusal menace. The app will assure commuters of a ride and allow autorickshaw bookings while ensuring payment is made only by the RTO-approved meter. Union leader Thampy Kurien, who proposed the idea to the transport department , is set to demonstrate it to officials at Mantralaya this week. "Unlike Ola and Uber, our app will not calculate fares that are low, very high, or dynamic in nature. It will merely book an auto and ensure pickup from your doorstep or wherever you are waiting. After the pickup, the driver will flag down the meter and take you to the destination, collecting the actual fare as per the meter, " Kurien told TOI. The union is also considering introducing a convenience charge, potentially a nominal Rs 5 per trip for app usage. It will seek MMRTA approval for any fare above the RTO-approved meter fare, said Kurien. He explained that the app's necessity arises after a series of refusals by auto drivers. Police statistics indicate there were nearly 4.7 lakh challans in 2024 for refusals by autos and taxis, with auto refusals accounting for over 70%. A senior transport official said they will review the app and, if it proves beneficial to commuters and auto drivers, there should be no issue in granting clearance. Kurien further indicated that he plans to challenge Ola and Uber autorickshaws operations in the city in Bombay high court. These vehicles do not operate by the meter despite drivers possessing state badges and permits, which require that vehicles function "only by the meter". Uber and Ola officials were unavailable for comment. Kurien also plans to petition the transport department to regulate autorickshaw operations outside railway stations. "At present, there are three different groups of autos – one which stands in queue and picks up passengers with no questions asked, the other which picks up while on the go, and a third group of cartel which parks autos at a distance and demands hefty share fares for popular destinations such as Linking Road, beaches, waterfronts, promenades, etc," he said. "We want govt to have a single queue outside all railway stations. If autorickshaws do not want to join this queue, they will have to drop passengers and leave the station precincts immediately. Those in queue should observe discipline and ferry all passengers – short or long distance," he added.
