These cutting-edge facilities will be strategically located in prominent zones such as the North Zone, Mahadevapura, and Bommanahalli, with anticipated completion within the next two to three years, the News 18 reported. Bengaluru, already a leading software exporter and a key semiconductor centre, will further solidify its position as a tech hub with this development.

Key areas slated for growth include Yeshwantpur and Whitefield, where over 10 IT firms are expected to establish operations. Additionally, the Bellandur area will see five new IT companies, Tumkur Road will host two, Koramangala one, and Kundalahalli three, the report noted. The influx of these companies is also expected to boost employment opportunities throughout the city.

This comes in the backdrop of another decision wherein the Bangalore Metropolitan Region Development Authority (BMRDA) is moving forward with a long-deferred plan to create three self-sufficient townships on the outskirts of the city. This initiative, which had been dormant for two decades, will now see development in Bidadi, Solur near Magadi, and Nandagudi in Hoskote.

The BMRDA has initiated preliminary work by contacting the Namma Metro to explore the possibility of extending metro services to these areas. According to the Metropolitan Commissioner of the BMRDA, these locations were selected due to their strategic connections to the Satellite Town Ring Road (STRR).
