Expedite Outer Regional Ring Railway line, Chamala asks in Lok Sabha
Bhuvanagiri MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy has appealed to the Lok Sabha Speaker and Union Railway Minister to expedite the implementation of India's first Outer Regional Ring Railway Line (ORRRL) project in Hyderabad.
Raising the matter under Section 377 in Parliament, the MP stressed on the national and strategic importance of the project, highlighting its alignment with the Prime Minister's vision of Vikshit Bharat-2047. The ambitious railway corridor, estimated at a cost of ₹12,000 crore, is designed to encircle the Hyderabad Metropolitan Region, covering eight districts and 14 mandals across Telangana. The line will run parallel to the proposed Regional Ring Road (RRR) and is expected to include 6 rail-over-rail (ROR) bridges.
'This project will act as a catalyst for economic growth, urbanisation, and industrial expansion,' he said, adding that the railway ring will help unlock new growth corridors, catalyse urbanisation of nearly 60% of the state, and enable job creation on a large scale.
