Updated 26 October 2026. Our 23 October report covered the protests and the re-tendering of six other flyovers (Bengaluru Flyover Re-Tender Oct 2026: 6 Projects, Areas Hit). This update covers the scaled-down Indiranagar corridor and what is left of it.

What was the original Indiranagar elevated corridor?

An 11.6-km, ₹1,300 crore elevated corridor from Swami Vivekananda Road metro station on Old Madras Road to Central Silk Board junction, running through Indiranagar (CMH Road, 100 Feet Road, 80 Feet Road), then Domlur, Koramangala and Madiwala (The South First, 24 September 2026). Its detailed project report was prepared between April 2025 and January 2026 and assumed 24 months of construction (The South First).

Cost figures differ by report: earlier protest coverage called it a ₹900 crore flyover (Deccan Herald), and the Times of India, as cited by Indian Opinion, puts the Old Madras Road–Silk Board corridor at ₹852 crore and says it has not been re-tendered yet (Indian Opinion, 25 October 2026). We could not confirm which scope each figure covers.

What has been dropped, and what remains?

  • Dropped: the stretch from Old Madras Road to Domlur, which would have run over Indiranagar 80 Feet and 100 Feet Roads (Deccan Herald, 24 October 2026).
  • Remains: the elevated road along the Inner Ring Road from Domlur to the under-construction Ejipura flyover (Deccan Herald).
  • Remains: the Hosur Road flyover between Central Silk Board and Madiwala (Deccan Herald).
  • Not yet known: the revised length and cost, and whether B-SMILE will re-tender the shorter corridor as one package. No revised project report has been published.

Why was the Indiranagar stretch cut?

Residents objected to the loss of trees on Indiranagar's tree-lined roads, and part of the plan needed land at a church grotto (Deccan Herald). Residents formed human chains under the banner 'Dear DK, Flyover Yaake', addressed to Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, and asked for the elevated-corridor tenders to be cancelled (The News Minute; Deccan Herald).

The planning objections were already on record. In its review of the project report, the Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT) said the alignment was not part of the Comprehensive Mobility Plan 2020, that the assumption that at least half of projected traffic would use the corridor 'lacks substantiation', and flagged the turning radius at the 80 Feet Road–CMH Road and CMH Road–100 Feet Road junctions as potentially unsafe (The South First, 24 September 2026). The residents' federation I Change Indiranagar proposed an alternative via Suranjan Das Road and Old Airport Road, and its petition in the Karnataka High Court has been admitted (The South First).

Is the case over?

Not necessarily. The High Court petition was filed against the full project, and the Domlur–Silk Board section is still planned. Separately, another group of residents has taken the Madiwala-linked plan to the High Court (Deccan Herald). Until B-SMILE publishes the revised scope, nobody can say exactly which plots and frontages the remaining pillars will touch.

What it means if you own or are buying a home here

  • Indiranagar (80 Feet and 100 Feet Roads, CMH Road): the main construction risk for these frontages has gone for now. Homes facing these roads no longer face two years of pillar work, which had been the main worry for resale.
  • Domlur and the Inner Ring Road to Ejipura: still on the alignment. If a flat or plot faces the Inner Ring Road, ask whether it falls within the elevated road's right of way and how close the nearest pillar would be.
  • Koramangala, Madiwala and Silk Board: the Hosur Road section stays. Lower-floor flats facing Hosur Road should expect construction disruption if the work is awarded.
  • In every case, check the latest alignment with the seller's documents and B-SMILE before signing; do not rely on old project maps.
