Nambike Nakshe 2.0 launched in Bengaluru, building approvals to be automated

The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) on Saturday (September 19) launched Nambike Nakshe 2.0, an automated building plan approval system aimed at streamlining and digitising the building plan approval process for citizens in the Greater Bengaluru Area.

The system was launched under the ‘Brand Bengaluru’ initiative by Greater Bengaluru Development Minister Krishna Byre Gowda and is described as an improved version of Nambike Nakshe 1.0, which was inaugurated on March 11, 2024.

According to a press release, Nambike Nakshe 1.0 was designed to reduce the need for repeated visits to government offices. Under the system, residents could receive building plan approvals within a day for construction of residential buildings of up to four units on plots measuring up to 50 ft by 80 ft (375 sq. m).
