Karnataka Budget 2025: Devanahalli Metro Expansion & Real Estate Impact
Introduction:
Karnataka Budget 2025 has paved the way for a massive infrastructure growth in North Bengaluru with the approval of the much-awaited Namma Metro extension to Devanahalli. This project will address last-mile connectivity issues and will help in real estate growth, making Devanahalli a hotspot for investments. But what does this mean for property rates and investment potential? Lets find out!.
Overview of the Metro Project:
Metro Line: City Center to Devanahalli via Yelahanka, Hebbal, and Kempegowda International Airport.
Completion Date: To be decided, although the announcement itself has already attracted real estate interest.
Reduction of Travel Time: Much lesser travelling time for professionals working within the IT sector and business cities.
Strategic Location: Devanahalli, previously a peripheral area, is fast becoming a real estate hotspot because of its proximity to the airport and the upcoming industrial developments.
Why North Bengaluru is the Next Real Estate Hotspot:
Near to Kempegowda International Airport
Upcoming IT & Tech Parks
Developing Commercial Zones
More Urbanization & Housing Demand
Although Devanahalli has proved to be an excellent investment location, this location has not become all that it could be, due to a lack of transport options. Removing this obstacle allows to be even more accessible to investors and residents through metro expansion.

2 BHK Apartments: ₹60 lakh – ₹1.5 crore (depends on location & amenities)
