Bengaluru set for Rs 20,000 crore civic infra budgets under new system

Bengaluru is set to implement civic infrastructure budgets totalling around Rs 20,000 crore under a new governance structure.

Legislators have proposed allocating Rs 5 crore per ward, with spending focused on roads, footpaths and civic services.

The move is expected to decentralise infrastructure spending and improve execution at the local level.

The new structure will allow separate budgets for different city zones, aimed at addressing area-specific infrastructure needs.

The proposal comes as part of efforts to strengthen urban governance and improve basic civic infrastructure across the city.
