BDA issues final notification to acquire 1,427 acres for Peripheral Ring Road-2
The Bangalore Development Authority has issued a final notification to acquire over 1,400 acres of land for the second phase of the Peripheral Ring Road project. This project aims to decongest Bengaluru by creating a circular corridor around the city.
Why it matters
Large-scale infrastructure projects are essential for urban development but often involve complex land acquisition processes that impact local residents and regional logistics.
The Peripheral Ring Road (PRR), which has been rebranded as the Bengaluru Business Corridor (BBC), is gathering pace, with the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) on Tuesday issuing a final notification to acquire 1,427 acres and 24.25 guntas of land on the city’s outskirts for the project.
The fresh final notification covers land parcels required for PRR-2, while work on PRR-1, divided into four packages, is at different stages of implementation. The BDA had also floated tenders for the first package of PRR-1, which covers 19.5 km. The authority is yet to float tenders for the three other packages.
The final notification issued on Tuesday covers six hoblis — Attibele, Jigani, Begur, Uttarahalli, Kengeri, and Dasanapura — under three taluks of Bengaluru Urban district, as per the BDA map. The notification covers land in 31 villages, as per the notification document.
