Bengaluru Business Corridor Stalled Over Land Dispute

The Rs 270 billion ($3.25 billion) Bengaluru Business Corridor project, formerly known as the Peripheral Ring Road, has hit another roadblock due to prolonged land acquisition disputes. As a result, the tendering process for the long-delayed 73.03-km project has been further delayed.

In an effort to expedite the project, the Karnataka government has formed a special committee to address the issue. The panel, chaired by the additional chief secretary of the Urban Development Department, includes the BDA commissioner and principal secretaries from the law, finance, and revenue (disaster management) departments.

Initially proposed two decades ago to ease Bengaluru’s traffic congestion, the project requires 2,560 acres of land. However, landowners, primarily farmers, are demanding higher compensation than what the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has proposed, bringing the acquisition process to a standstill.

The corridor aims to connect Tumakuru Road to Hosur Road, intersecting major highways such as Doddaballapur Road, Ballari Road, and Old Madras Road. With the new committee in place, the government hopes to break the deadlock and push the long-pending project forward.
