Devanahalli Road, Bangalore

Overview

With the Kempegowda International Airport being the pivot for the growth, North Bangalore has lately witnessed an aggressive residential and commercial development. Devanahalli Road, also called Bellary Road, is one of the busiest corridors in the limelight providing direct access to the airport from the Bangalore city. The Town Municipal Council (TMC) Devanahalli has come a long way to witness some of the city’s biggest infrastructural and developmental changes. For being only 34km away from the city, the public transport in the area is both rounded and resourceful.

Connectivity

Devanahalli Road is in the interest of many prominent developers in the city due to the connectivity of the corridor with the Kempegowda International Airport along with the upcoming commercial hubs in the region.

●       Bellary Road provides connectivity to other towns along Northern Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. It also is a gateway for the traffic entering Bangalore city from the International Airport.

●       Nearest interstate rail and bus terminal can be availed from Yelahanka, which is about 4-5 km from the corridor.

●       Kempegowda International Airport is about 15-20km from here.

Factors for growth

●       Being a suburban corridor, ample urbanisable land coupled with affordable land prices are the major factors for the growth of the region. Devanahalli Road is surely a major investment destination for many realtors.

●       BIAL IT Investment Region coming up in the area between Doddaballapur and Chikballapur will be another major factor driving residential demand along this corridor in the near future.

●       Several IT giants such as TCS, Infosys, Wipro have already shown interest in establishing offices in the region. Approximate 2,40,000 residential dwelling units are required to cater the needs of housing for the employees from this region.

●       Along with the ITIR, Aerospace SEZ, Hardware Park and Devanahalli Business Park are the larger pull factors for the development towards Devanahalli. Many IT majors and MNCs are planning to open their R&D centres in vicinity of International Airport boosting the residential prospects of the corridor.

●       Ambitious Phase 3 alignment of Namma metro connecting Yelahanka with Carmelaram and Airport with upcoming Nagawara Junction are the two positive bets for the corridor.

Infrastructure Developments - Social and Physical

Devanahalli Road is an emerging suburb which lacks proper social and physical infrastructure facilities as of now. Large residential projects are the hope in the region which comes decked with essential amenities.

●       Some major schools available along the corridor include Canadian International School, Poorna Prajna High School, Mallya Aditi International School and Delhi Public School North Campus, amongst others. Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology along with Brindavan College of Engineering, Sheshadripuram Institute of Management Studies and KNN College of Nursing are prominent options available for higher studies.

●       Accessible health care choices for the corridor include Columbia Asia Hospital, Motherhood Hospital, Sathya Sai Hospital, Ashwini Hospital, Nava Chethana Hospital and Om Shakthi Hospital, amongst others.
