The Healthway Solar Cycling Track is the ride that removes every excuse. Too sunny? You’re under a solar roof. Raining? Same roof. Too late in the evening? The panels above you power the lights that keep the track alive well into the night. Twenty-three kilometres of smooth, traffic-free tarmac along the ORR — and all you have to do is show up.
See it for yourself
We chose this walkthrough by an independent creator because it covers the track’s facilities and features end to end — exactly what you’ll find when you arrive.
Why it’s outworthy
This track is our home ride — we’re on it almost every day, and it has quietly changed how much we cycle. The reason is simple: it deletes the two things that keep most people off a bicycle in this city, traffic and weather. The full 23 km stretch is completely separated from cars, smooth and well laid out, so you ride exactly as far as you feel like — enter at the TSPA access and a full out-and-back gives you a proper 50 km morning. The solar shelter overhead is the feature that makes it week-after-week sustainable: it shields you from the sun, keeps you dry when it rains, and at night the solar-powered lights make riding after dark completely normal — you’ll see plenty of people out here late into the evening ⭐✓. On days we don’t feel like taking our own bike, we walk into the Narsingi Smartbike hub and rent one on the spot. And if you’re bringing along someone who doesn’t love cycling yet, rent them an electric bike — yes, that’s an option — and let them cruise the rolling ups and downs; they will fall in love with it 💚✓. Well-maintained restrooms and water at both the Narsingi hub and the TSPA entrance round it off — it just feels like home. One honest note: this is engineered infrastructure along a highway, not forest — for birdsong and greenery, Pala Pitta Cycling Park is our pick. This is where you come to actually ride.
From the source
Healthway is India’s first solar-roof cycling track, built by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) along the Outer Ring Road and opened in October 2023. The 23 km, 4.5-metre-wide bidirectional track runs in two stretches — Nanakramguda to TSPA (8.5 km) and Kollur to Narsingi (14.5 km) — under a roof of around 16,000 solar panels that generate power and light the track at night. It is open 24/7, year-round, with five access points (Narsingi, Kollur, TSPA, Vattinagulapalli, Nanakramguda) offering parking, cycle rentals, repair stalls, first-aid stations and rest areas.
