Hyderabad real estate development touching the sky…….

The Hyderabad Urban Development Authority (Huda) is investing about Rs 6,000 crore for an eight-lane access-controlled expressway. Part of the Outer Ring Road (ORR) project, it would be taken up in three phases. Five agencies are working on this project on a build, operate and transfer basis. This is likely to be ready by 2010. The government would take financial assistance from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) and would soon call for tenders for the project. Also 33 radial roads would be laid at a cost of Rs 3,000-4,000 crore in Andhra Pradesh for better connectivity to the city.

Work on four radial roads has already begun. Huda has also identified land for setting up the digital entertainment city and will soon form a special purpose vehicle for the purpose. It is also planning a health city with participation from global players. The government is also intent on developing townships along the Outer Ring Road. With all these developments taking place in the city, it seems Hyderabad will leave all the other cities in the race.
