The real estate landscape in Bengaluru and Tumkur is witnessing a sharp upward trend, thanks to the proposed metro extension linking the two cities. Land prices are climbing fast, especially near planned metro stations—setting off a new wave of interest among buyers and investors.

Bengaluru’s expansion fuels demand

With Bengaluru’s ever-growing footprint, nearby regions are becoming hot property zones. The city’s long-standing real estate appeal is now spilling over into its outskirts, with property sales surging. The Greater Bengaluru Development Authority (GBDA) is playing a crucial role in this growth, pushing boundaries and encouraging urban development.

Metro extension drives up land rates

The Bengaluru-Tumkur metro corridor is a key factor behind the rising land values. While a few political leaders have expressed concerns, the project is moving ahead. The scrapped idea of a second international airport in Tumkur hasn’t dimmed enthusiasm. Instead, the metro is being seen as a game-changing development.

Areas to watch

Land prices are notably rising in areas along the proposed metro route, such as:

  • Madavara, Dasanapura, Nelamangala, T. Beguru, Tippagondanahalli, Mahimapur, Budihal

  • Dabaspet, Chikkahalli, Hirehalli Industrial Area, Pandithanahalli, Kyatsandra, Tumkur Bus Station, Nagannapalay

  • Shira Gate and nearby localities

    • Properties within 500 meters of these zones are witnessing a price spike, as connectivity improves and investor interest peaks.

    Shira finds new hope

    Though Shira lost its bid for a second airport, the metro line brings optimism. Enhanced transit access could finally put it on the map—and push up land rates.
