Bengaluru Metro expansion to 98.60 km within two years, with a focus on connectivity to Devanahalli Business Park and two upcoming IT parks. Rs 30 billion set aside for drainage and sewage infrastructure, managed by BBMP and BWSSB. Peripheral Ring Road project renamed as Bengaluru Business Corridor, with 27,000 crore allocated and land acquisition in progress. The 73 km road will be funded with assistance from HUDCO Bank. Strategic Development and Economic Growth Bengaluru, home to over 875 Global Capability Centres (GCCs), is set to benefit from a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to ensure efficient fund utilization and expedite priority projects.

The city's commercial corridor linking Karnataka with Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu will see major improvements, boosting investment and economic activity.

These ambitious projects reaffirm the Karnataka government’s commitment to transforming Bengaluru into a world-class metropolis with robust infrastructure and sustainable urban planning.
