'''Jaipur Ring Road''' or '''RR''' is a 150 kilometre, 6-lane [[ring road]] encircling the city of [[Jaipur]], [[Rajasthan]], [[India]]. It is built by [[Jaipur Development Authority]] (JDA). The expressway is designed for speeds up to 120 km/h.
Construction of Ring Road around Jaipur was conceived by PWD in December 2000 on [[Build–operate–transfer|BOT]] basis. In Phase I & II, a road with a length of 47 km will be constructed in the south of Jaipur, connecting Ajmer Road, Tonk Road and Agra Road. In Phase III, a road with a length of 97.75 km will be constructed in the northern part of Jaipur and will connect [[Agra]] Road, [[Delhi]] Road, [[Sikar]] Road and [[Ajmer]] Road.

== Construction ==
The construction contract, valued at [[Indian rupee|₹]]1 [[crore]], was awarded to Sanjose-Supreme in May 2011.<ref name="ToI-11May">{{cite news|title=JDA selects Sanjose-Supreme for Rs 1100 cr Ring road project|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/JDA-selects-Sanjose-Supreme-for-Rs-1100-cr-Ring-road-project/articleshow/8229860.cms|work=The Times of India|date=11 May 2011}}</ref>

It will consist of a six-lane access controlled expressway; a three-lane service road on both sides; a 135 m R&R and an investors' development corridor on both sides. The road is envisaged as a toll-free and signal free expressway.

The project stalled due to deadlock between the JDA and the farmers over compensation to be paid for acquisition of the land. To solve the deadlock the [[Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs|Union ministry of urban development]] proposed a scheme whereby the land owners would receive 60% of their land area back, instead of the previous 25%, in the form of new regular plots with road access.<ref>{{cite news|title=Centre suggests Rajasthan to construct ring road on self-financing basis|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/Centre-suggests-Rajasthan-to-construct-ring-road-on-self-financing-basis/articleshow/18327177.cms|work=The Times of India|date=4 February 2013}}</ref>
