BDA projects on agenda as CM Shivakumar to review Bengaluru infrastructure plans on Monday

Bengaluru: Chief Minister DK Shivakumar will review key projects of the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) on Monday, focusing easing traffic congestion, planned urban development and resolving long-pending issues related to residential sites and housing.

The review meeting is expected to cover the status of major infrastructure projects, land acquisition, financial and administrative issues, and timelines for completion. The Chief Minister is also likely to announce new BDA initiatives and decisions after the meeting.

One key issue on the agenda is the regularisation of houses built on BDA-acquired land under Rule 38(D). The government has already notified a scheme to regularise houses constructed more than 12 years ago, before July 10, 2008.


Under the revised fee structure, charges based on the guidance value have been reduced by 50% across different site categories.

For sites measuring up to 20x30 feet, the fee has been reduced from 10% to 5% of the guidance value. For sites above 20x30 feet and up to 30x40 feet, it has been cut from 25% to 12.5%. The rate for sites above 30x40 feet and up to 40x60 feet has been reduced from 40% to 20%, while sites above 40x60 feet and up to 50x80 feet will attract a fee of 25%, against the earlier 50%.

The notification providing for penalties under the scheme is also in force. The Chief Minister is expected to launch a fully computerised system to enable beneficiaries to submit regularisation applications online.

The review is also expected to assess the pace of project implementation and identify measures to address delays. Officials will be given directions on land acquisition, funding and administrative clearances to ensure that projects are completed within stipulated timelines.
