STRR Expressway to Boost Bengaluru’s Connectivity and Real Estate

07 Jul 2025 CW Team

As Bengaluru continues to expand rapidly, traffic congestion has become a major challenge. The STRR aims to tackle this by creating additional thoroughfares and fostering an environment conducive to real estate growth. According to TradeBrains reports, this development is expected to significantly drive up land prices in the surrounding regions.

Designed as a four to six-lane expressway with controlled access, the STRR will connect Bengaluru’s suburban areas and integrate with the Bengaluru-Chennai Express Highway. This circular corridor will also link six national highways and eight state highways, improving regional connectivity substantially.

Economic Benefits

Conceived by former Prime Minister Deve Gowda and Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, the STRR project focuses on creating an industrial-friendly ecosystem. It aims to ease import and export logistics by diverting heavy vehicle traffic away from Bengaluru city, thus streamlining movement for industries.

With an estimated investment of Rs 47.5 billion, the expressway is targeted for completion by 2027. It is expected to offer major benefits to industrial zones by enhancing logistics efficiency and reducing travel times.

Future Prospects

The STRR is projected to drive a ‘golden’ surge in land prices across 12 regions, spurred by heightened demand. Real estate activities have already gained momentum in these areas, with land values anticipated to rise further in the coming years.

This ambitious infrastructure endeavour not only links Bengaluru’s suburbs but also extends connectivity to Hosur in Tamil Nadu. By improving transport links and alleviating traffic congestion, the STRR project is set to transform the regional infrastructure landscape.

The Bengaluru Suburban Transport Ring Road (STRR) project is a pivotal initiative led by the central government, spanning approximately 243 km in Karnataka and 45 km in Tamil Nadu, totalling 288 km. This expressway will connect key industrial hubs around Bengaluru including Hoskote, Devanahalli, Doddaballapur, Nelamangala, Kanakapura, Ramanagara, Attibele, Anekal, Magadi, Sarjapur, Bidadi, and Dabaspete.As Bengaluru continues to expand rapidly, traffic congestion has become a major challenge.
