East Bangalore
East Bengaluru is the city’s primary growth corridor, running from old Cantonment and Indiranagar to the tech-heavy belts of Whitefield, KR Puram, Bellandur, and Sarjapur Road. In 2025, this zone combines expanding metro lines, large IT parks, and a deep pipeline of mid- to high-end housing. If your office sits on the Outer Ring Road or near Whitefield, chances are your daily life is anchored here. This guide takes a location-first view of news, commutes, prices, and micro-markets, with township benchmarks such as Nambiar District 25, a new-age integrated apartment township on Sarjapur Road.

Construction has restarted at the long-stalled Ejipura Flyover. The city’s infrastructure agency, B-SMILE, has begun building the down-ramp near Srinivagilu Junction.

What was meant to ease congestion has become a choke point. The newly opened Kundalahalli underpass now faces heavy traffic snarls during peak hours.
