The recently acquired land is expected to be developed into a plotted residential project with an estimated development area of around 1.2 million square feet. The project is said to be launched in the upcoming quarters, aligning with Godrej’s strategy of expanding into other major real estate markets of India, especially Bengaluru. The executive chairman also stated that the land acquisition aligns well with their ambition of expanding into the Indian micro markets that have been exhibiting strong potential for the future.
Doddaballapura has always been known as an industrial city, primarily for its textile industries. But now, it is on the verge of transforming into a real estate magnet. One of the major advantages is its proximity to the international airport, which makes it particularly attractive to NRIs, investors, and even some professionals. Developments such as the upcoming STRR (Satellite Ring Road) and the road widening projects are expected to cut travel time to Bengaluru city, specifically to hotspots such as Whitefield, Yelahanka, and Hebbal.
Land in Doddaballapura that is valued between Rs. 4500 to Rs. 7000 now is expected to rise at least 1.5 times in the coming two years. With major government initiatives taking place around the region, such as the STRR, Doddaballapura has come under the radar of developers of residential complexes like Godrej Properties.
Doddaballapura is quickly becoming a prime real estate destination in North Bengaluru, fueled by robust infrastructure upgrades and proactive state-led growth initiatives. Recognized as a satellite town in the Greater Bengaluru Suburban Plan (2025), the area is charted for disciplined urban expansion. Connectivity is set to improve dramatically with the expanding 80 km stretch of the Satellite Town Ring Road (STRR), and the ₹27,000 crore Bengaluru Business Corridor (BBC), which together enhance links to emerging IT clusters and manufacturing hubs. Foxconn’s ₹22,000 crore “Project Elephant” nearby is slated to create 50,000 plus jobs, sharply amplifying the demand for housing. Future anchors include the Knowledge, Well-being & Innovation (KWIN) City, Aerospace SEZs, and the sprawling 12,000-acre BIAL IT Region in Devanahalli, which provides a solid, enduring economic base. With all these reasons, Doddaballapura’s land values could climb 1.5 times by 2027, marking it as a compelling investment opportunity over the next few years.
Doddaballapura is a city that has a much lower population density compared to Bengaluru, making it quieter and less chaotic. The traffic on the roads is also much lesser, making it easy to commute, while Bengaluru faces one of the worst traffic jams globally, with travel time sometimes reaching up to 34 minutes to travel 10 km. Various projects such as the Metro Line have got North Bengaluru real estate a 57% rise in property prices since 2019. Even though Doddaballapura has no confirmed metro line connection, the smaller city is catching up with the surge levels, with a 22% to 27% hike since 2020, thanks to its prominence as a rising property hub.
Doddaballapura city is 50 km away from the core of Bengaluru, but from some areas, such as Yelahanka New Town, Doddaballapura is almost half the distance. If the development is integrated well among the two locations, this new belt could be a game changer for not just the economic growth but also the real estate market. The upcoming Satellite Town Ring Road (STRR) and Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) projects are also expected to further integrate areas like Doddaballapura with the core city.
