Bengaluru plans transit-oriented hub near airport corridor

Bengaluru is planning an 80-hectare transit-oriented development project near Kempegowda International Airport as part of efforts to create an integrated transport hub in the region.

Authorities said the project is linked to the proposed Bengaluru-Hyderabad high-speed rail corridor.

The planned development aims to integrate metro, rail, airport and road transport systems within a single urban mobility framework.

Officials expect Devanahalli to emerge as a major multimodal transport hub under the proposal.

The project forms part of broader infrastructure expansion around the airport corridor, which has seen rapid urban growth in recent years, reported The Times of India.

Authorities said transit-oriented planning could help improve connectivity and support future urban development.

The region has witnessed increasing commercial and institutional investment linked to airport-led expansion.

Planning and coordination work for the project is currently underway.

The development reflects growing focus on integrated transport-led urban growth strategies in Indian cities.
