Bengaluru Plans 11 Elevated Corridors Worth ₹13,262 Cr Across 75.6 Km – 9 Areas That Could Benefit
Bengaluru is moving forward with plans for 11 elevated-corridor projects covering 75.6 km across the city. The ₹13,262.7-crore package includes major corridors connecting Yeshwanthpur, KR Puram, Kanakapura Road, Mysuru Road and northern Bengaluru. With several established residential markets located along these routes, the projects could improve connectivity and potentially support property demand in surrounding areas.
Bengaluru’s 120 Km Elevated Corridor Network
The Karnataka government has proposed a broader B-SMILE network of elevated and grade-separated corridors across Bengaluru. In September 2026, the government reviewed plans for 13 elevated corridors spanning about 120 km. Of these, 11 corridors covering 75.6 km were cleared by the Karnataka Cabinet in April 2026 at an estimated cost of ₹13,262.7 crore. The approved package comprises nine projects under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model and two longer corridors under the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model.
Bengaluru’s Elevated Corridors and Key Areas
The ₹13,262.7-crore approved package covers 11 projects across central, north, south, east and west Bengaluru, with the two longer corridors accounting for a substantial share of the network.
Yeshwanthpur–KR Puram: The 28-km corridor starts around Mathikere Cross in Yeshwanthpur and runs through IISc, Mekhri Circle, Jayamahal, St John’s Church Road and Ulsoor before terminating near KR Puram via Old Madras Road.
Marenahalli Main Road (Ragigudda)–Kanakapura Main Road: The 18.5-km corridor runs through Pipeline Road and Thalaghattapura towards Kanakapura Road.
Mysuru Road–Nayandahalli: The 5.2-km project covers the Sirsi Circle–Nayandahalli stretch.
Pipeline Road–Outer Ring Road: The 2-km project covers the West of Chord Road–Outer Ring Road stretch in Mahalakshmi Layout.
Tumakuru Road–MEI Junction: The proposed flyover at MEI Junction covers 0.5 km.
Raghuvanahalli Cross: The 0.9-km project covers the Adyar Ananda Bhavan/Raghuvanahalli Cross stretch on Kanakapura Road.
Minerva Circle–Hudson Circle/Town Hall/KR Circle: The proposed elevated stretch covers 6.97 km through central Bengaluru.
Kanakapura Road–Konanakunte Cross: The proposed flyover covers 1.5 km.
Old Madras Road–Silk Board: The 5.2-km elevated project would connect the Old Madras Road side to the Electronic City flyover/Silk Board via Swami Vivekananda Metro Station, Indiranagar, Old Airport Road and Hosur Road.
Doddaballapura Road–Kogilu: The 1.47-km project connects Doddaballapura Road Police Station Junction to the NH-7/Navayuga Flyover at Kogilu Circle via Old Yelahanka.
Hosur Road–Shoolay Circle: The 5.3-km project runs from Shoolay Circle to St John Hospital Road via Anepalya and Adugodi.
How Will It Improve Bengaluru Connectivity?
The elevated-corridor network is intended to improve traffic movement between major parts of Bengaluru, particularly along busy existing road corridors.
Yeshwanthpur–KR Puram: Could improve east-west connectivity through central Bengaluru.
Marenahalli–Kanakapura Road: Could improve access from south Bengaluru towards Pipeline Road, Thalaghattapura and Kanakapura Road.
Old Madras Road–Silk Board: Could improve movement between eastern and southern Bengaluru through several major intermediate corridors.
Doddaballapura Road–Kogilu: Could improve connectivity across northern Bengaluru.
9 Areas That Could Benefit From Better Connectivity
The proposed corridors could improve accessibility across several established residential and commercial markets. The potential real-estate impact could be higher in areas located close to the proposed alignments and existing employment or residential hubs.
Yeshwanthpur: Better connectivity towards Mathikere, IISc and KR Puram could strengthen its appeal as an established residential and employment hub.
Mathikere: The Yeshwanthpur–KR Puram corridor could improve access towards Mekhri Circle and central Bengaluru.
KR Puram: Better east-west connectivity could improve access to central and eastern Bengaluru.
Old Madras Road: The proposed corridor could improve movement between eastern Bengaluru and central areas.
Silk Board: The Old Madras Road–Central Silk Board corridor could improve connectivity towards Indiranagar, Domlur, Madiwala and southern Bengaluru.
Yelahanka: The Doddaballapura Road–Kogilu project could improve local connectivity from Old Yelahanka towards Kogilu Circle.
Nayandahalli: The Sirsi Circle–Nayandahalli project could improve access along Mysuru Road and western Bengaluru.
Thalaghattapura: The Marenahalli–Kanakapura corridor could improve connectivity through Pipeline Road towards Kanakapura Road.
Kanakapura Road: The proposed projects at Raghuvanahalli Cross and Konanakunte Cross could improve connectivity along the southern Bengaluru corridor.

Other Areas That Could Benefit
Other areas such as IISc, Mekhri Circle, Jayamahal, Ulsoor, Domlur, Adugodi, Konanakunte, Raghuvanahalli, Pipeline Road and Mahalakshmi Layout could also benefit from improved connectivity. The impact will depend on the final alignments, access ramps and links with existing roads.
Yeshwanthpur: Average flat price is around ₹13,350 per sq ft, up 51.7% in the last 3 years and 113.6% in the last 5 years.
KR Puram: Average flat price is around ₹9,200 per sq ft, up 12.2% in the last 1 year and 52.1% in the last 3 years.
Old Madras Road: Average flat price is around ₹10,350 per sq ft, up 4.5% in the last 1 year and 54.5% in the last 3 years.
Yelahanka: Average flat price is around ₹10,950 per sq ft, up 16.5% in the last 1 year, 52.1% in the last 3 years and 90.4% in the last 5 years.
Thalaghattapura: Average flat price is around ₹13,500 per sq ft, up 37.8% in the last 1 year and 28% in the last 3 years.
When Will Bengaluru’s Elevated Corridors Be Ready?
The 28-km Yeshwanthpur–KR Puram and 18.5-km Marenahalli Main Road (Ragigudda)–Kanakapura Main Road corridors are being taken up under the BOOT model, with up to 40% viability-gap funding from the state. The Yeshwanthpur–KR Puram project has an estimated cost of ₹3,536 crore and a proposed construction period of 30 months after award. The remaining nine projects, estimated to cost around ₹3,198 crore, may be re-tendered. B-SMILE has identified the lowest bidders, but work orders are yet to be issued. The projects are therefore at different stages of procurement and should be viewed as proposed infrastructure rather than operational connectivity.
