Bengaluru Business Corridor: Airport-NICE Road Link Prioritized, Tenders by 2026

• The Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) is rebranded as the Bengaluru Business Corridor (BBC), with a 23 km stretch connecting Kempegowda International Airport and NICE Road prioritized for construction.
• This initial phase links Tumakuru Road and Ballari Road, forming part of the larger 73 km BBC project, and will include toll collection centers.
• BDA plans to invite tenders for the first phase by early 2026, with construction divided into three phases to manage land acquisition and accelerate progress.
• Around 100 acres have been acquired, but the project faces resistance from farmers over compensation amounts, leading to a scheduled meeting on September 25.
• Concerns also arise from the proposed PRR 2 project, affecting 9 Dasanapura villages, and unresolved compensation issues from the stalled PRR 1 project.

Why It Matters: Bengaluru's new Business Corridor prioritizes airport connectivity, but faces significant land acquisition and compensation hurdles.
