Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor (CBIC)
The CBIC is a project aimed at providing unbroken regional connectivity between Chennai and Bengaluru. This infrastructure project involves the improvement of highways, dedicated freight corridors, and new distribution centers alongside the corridor. The project has significantly reduced travel time between the cities to less than 3 hours through the expressway, thereby reducing logistics costs and improving cross-state business.
Impact on Real Estate
- Large increases in new warehousing, residential, and commercial development are occurring along the corridor, particularly around nodes such as Hoskote and Tumakuru.
- Secondary towns located within the CBIC are also experiencing healthy interest in plotted developments and standards of lower-cost commercial buildings.
- Upgrading to direct road access and being located relatively close to ports such as Krishnapatnam and Ennore regions with less direct access, this is making industries that generate employment more attractive to take advantage of local housing and rental demands.
Bengaluru-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (BMIC)
The BMIC has been envisioned to connect two of India’s major industrial towns and other key nodes across Karnataka and Maharashtra. The main goal of this project is to form high-tech, self-contained nodes that would maximize manufacturing, logistics, and services. The initial stage consisted of large land tracts in Dharwad and Satara being prepared for industrial development. This would guarantee high-quality infrastructure, and the efficiency of resources is drawing record amounts of private and public investment to the area.
Impact on Real Estate
- The corridor’s progress is already causing growth in industrial parks and residential zones along the western axis of Bengaluru.
- Enhanced road and rail connectivity is set to uplift peripheral markets, converting them into promising hotspots for investors over the next decade.
- The BMIC aims to increase the region’s resource security, boost innovation, attract leading firms to expand operations, and promote local demand for quality housing and retail.
Hyderabad-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor (HBIC)
The Hyderabad-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor (HBIC) will interconnect the two major economic clusters in southern states of Hyderabad and Bengaluru, through a sequence of interconnected mega nodes which include several industrial mega nodes such as the Orvakal Industrial Area located in Kurnool district. The creation of new railways, expressways, an airport to support the new corridor, and significant investment into the corridor will help to create an opportunity for the interconnected HBIC to rebalance growth in northern Bengaluru and its external perimeter.
Real Estate Impact
- The real estate in the HBIC has been re-imagined in places like Kolar, Chikkaballapur, and Tumakuru, experiencing rapid and exponential growth in housing, logistics parks, and commercial activity space.
- The corridor will generate thousands of employment opportunities and enhance the demand for rental as well as owned housing in future corridor zones.
- Northern and eastern suburbs are now extremely desirable for both end-users and institutional investors in pursuit of long-term capital appreciation.
The Decadal Transformation: 2025–2035
- Economic Growth and Job Creation : All three corridors combined are predicted to bring lakhs of employment, especially in manufacturing, technology, and logistics industries. The new wave of workers will drive down housing demand dramatically, especially across North, East, and West Bengaluru, converting previously defined peripheral areas of Bengaluru into the next new urban areas.
- Urban Infrastructure Upliftments : The corridors will also receive subsets of large infrastructure projects – metro extensions, Peripheral Ring Road (PRR), Satellite Town development, and more, further enhancing the city’s connectivity and livability.
These industrial corridors are not just about infrastructure; they are about creating a sustainable and inclusive growth model that will make Bengaluru a leading economic hub in the coming years. The real estate market will play a crucial role in this transformation, providing the necessary residential, commercial, and industrial spaces to support the city’s growth.
