Karnataka Budget 2025: Devanahalli Metro Expansion & Real Estate Impact

The Karnataka Budget 2025 has approved the long-awaited Namma Metro extension to Devanahalli, boosting connectivity and real estate growth. This blog provides you more info on how this decision can impact Bangalore Real estate market.

Introduction: 


Karnataka Budget 2025 has paved the way for a massive infrastructure growth in North Bengaluru with the approval of the much-awaited Namma Metro extension to Devanahalli. This project will address last-mile connectivity issues and will help in real estate growth, making Devanahalli a hotspot for investments. But what does this mean for property rates and investment potential? Lets find out!.


Overview of the Metro Project: 


Metro Line: City Center to Devanahalli via Yelahanka, Hebbal, and Kempegowda International Airport.

Completion Date: To be decided, although the announcement itself has already attracted real estate interest.

Reduction of Travel Time: Much lesser travelling time for professionals working within the IT sector and business cities.

Strategic Location: Devanahalli, previously a peripheral area, is fast becoming a real estate hotspot because of its proximity to the airport and the upcoming industrial developments.


Why North Bengaluru is the Next Real Estate Hotspot: 


  • Near to Kempegowda International Airport

  • Upcoming IT & Tech Parks

  • Developing Commercial Zones

  • More Urbanization & Housing Demand


Although Devanahalli has proved to be an excellent investment location, this location has not become all that it could be, due to a lack of transport options. Removing this obstacle allows to be even more accessible to investors and residents through metro expansion.


Real Estate Boom: Will Property Prices in Devanahalli Soar?


Existing Property Prices in North Bengaluru:


  • 2 BHK Apartments: ₹60 lakh – ₹1.5 crore (depends on location & amenities)

  • Land Prices: ₹6,000 – ₹8,000/sq. ft.

  • Flat/ Apartment Prices: ₹10,850 – ₹17,870/sq. Ft.


Expected Growth:


  • 20-25% growth in real estate values in the next two years.

  • Rental demand boom: 2 BHK rentals to touch ₹35,000-₹38,000/month.

  • Huge projects in Devanahalli are being eyed by top real estate  players.
