Doddanekkundi, Bangalore

Overview

Doddanekkundi is an emergent residential suburb along the Outer Ring Road towards Brookefield in the East. The area has been in the limelight lately with the establishment of IT/ITeS industry along the Outer Ring Road majorly concentrated at Bagmane World Technology Centre (SEZ) and Kadubeesanahalli.

Connectivity

In terms of connectivity, Doddanekkundi is an extremely accessible market amongst the Eastern Bangalore via three major roads - Outer Ring Road, Kundanahalli Main Road and Whitefield Main Road.

●       BMTC bus services are easily available from all three connected roads and are found to be excellent in frequency and service.

●       KR Puram Railway Station (about 5km) and Whitefield Railway Station (about 10km farther) are the nearest rail terminals for the area.

●       Major interstate rail and bus terminals of the city near Majestic are about an hour’s drive from the area (approx. 20km).

●       Kempegowda International Airport can be easily accessible within an hour and half’s drive from the area via Outer Ring Road and Hennur/Bellary Roads (about 40km).

Factors for Growth

●       Aggressively emerging IT industry and the corporate establishments along the Eastern IT hub Whitefield/ITPL and the development of new IT corridor along the Outer Ring Road is expected to keep the residential development busy in the area.

●       Phase 3 alignment of Namma Metro connecting Silk Board and Hebbal via KR Puram will change the game by putting Doddanekkundi in limelight and further pushing the real estate prices much higher.

●       Also, the construction of flyover near the EMC2 circle will ensure smooth flow of traffic reducing congestion levels once completed.

Infrastructure Developments - Social and Physical

Brookefield and AECS Layout adjacent to the locality offer much established social and physical infrastructure in the region.

●       Some major schools in the neighbourhood include Ekya School, KLAY Whitefield, Gopalan National School, Euro School, Gopalan International School and Vydehi School of Excellence, amongst others.

●       Kundanahalli Main Road along with Whitefield Main Road apart from the Outer Ring Road are the retail and entertainment destinations for the region which comprise major malls such as Brookfields Mall, Phoenix Market City, VR Mall and Soulspace Malls, amongst others.

●       Rainbow Children’s Hospital, Apollo Cradle, Brookfield Hospital and Narayana Multispecialty Clinic are the available healthcare facilities in the surrounding region.

Major Challenges

●       There are multiple civic infrastructural issues in the area ranging from poor garbage collection and bad road networks.

●       Highly mismanaged automobile traffic along the Outer Ring Road between Marathahalli and KR Puram is a major issue for the residents here.
