The Karnataka government has revived the long-pending Intermediate Ring Road (IRR) project in Bengaluru, a 210 km corridor aimed at improving connectivity across the city’s peripheral growth zones. The project, originally proposed over a decade ago, will link 12 satellite towns including Devanahalli, Bidadi, Anekal and Hoskote. Now under the Bengaluru Metropolitan Region Development Authority (BMRDA), the revised plan seeks to address earlier land acquisition and legal challenges by reverting to the original alignment with modifications. A key strategy involves land pooling through developer-led relinquishment, reducing acquisition costs. The corridor will integrate with other major infrastructure projects such as the Satellite Town Ring Road and the Bengaluru Business Corridor, forming a broader mobility network to support regional expansion and decentralised urban growth.Read more
