The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) and Urban Mobility and Transport Authority (UMTA) are set to significantly expand the city’s cycling infrastructure by linking the existing 23-km Outer Ring Road (ORR) Cycling Track with major information technology parks, commercial centers, and residential areas across Hyderabad. The ambitious project aims to transform cycling into a viable mode of daily commute for thousands of professionals working in the city’s bustling business districts.
The proposed expansion includes ten dedicated cycling corridors strategically designed to connect key locations across Hyderabad’s western corridor. The routes will link prominent areas including Cyber Towers, HITEC City, Gachibowli, Financial District, Kokapet, Jubilee Hills, and Ameerpet. One major corridor will run from Cyber Towers to Inorbit Mall and back, while another will connect HBC Bike Station to IKEA, Ranke Towers, Radisson, Gachibowli Junction, and the Cyberabad Commissionerate.
Additional planned routes include a circuit connecting Radisson to Kokapet via the GB Flyover, IDBI, and ISB, returning to Radisson. The Financial District will be linked to key landmarks including Waverock, ICICI, IRDAI, and the U.S. Consulate. Another corridor will connect IIIT Hyderabad, GB Stadium, TCS Synergy Park, and DLF, creating seamless connectivity for students and IT professionals alike.
The network will also feature a route from DLF to Radisson, Botanical Garden, and Chirag, along with another corridor linking Botanical Garden to Kokapet, CII, Mahindra, HSBC, Lemon Tree, and Deloitte Drive. A significant route will connect Cyber Towers to JNTU via HITEC City MMTS station, Malaysian Township, and Forum Mall, serving both educational institutions and commercial areas.
Two additional corridors will enhance connectivity to residential neighborhoods. One route will run from Cyber Towers through Jubilee Hills, Yousufguda, and Ameerpet, while another will create a loop connecting Inorbit Mall, Nectar Garden, Jubilee Hills Road No. 45, KBR Park, and back to Inorbit Mall. These routes are designed to integrate cycling into the daily lives of residents across different parts of the city.
The cycling corridor expansion is expected to deliver multiple benefits for Hyderabad’s urban mobility landscape. The initiative will provide better last-mile connectivity for commuters, reduce traffic congestion on major roads, promote cleaner urban mobility, encourage healthier lifestyles among residents, and strengthen sustainable transport infrastructure. The project aligns with the city’s vision of becoming a more livable and environmentally conscious metropolis.
The development comes as Hyderabad continues its transformation into a global city with growing emphasis on people-centric mobility solutions. The expanded cycling network represents a significant investment in infrastructure that prioritizes safety, efficiency, and sustainability for daily commuters. The integration of cycling tracks with existing public transport systems and major employment centers is designed to make cycling a practical and attractive alternative for thousands of professionals working across the city’s technology and commercial corridors.
