Overview

• The chief minister’s letter dated September 19 to Azim Premji requests limited peak-hour vehicular passage through Wipro’s Bengaluru campus near the Iblur junction.
• Preliminary assessments cited in the letter suggest the measure could reduce congestion on adjoining Outer Ring Road stretches by nearly 30% during peak hours.
• The proposal is contingent on mutually agreed terms and necessary security protocols, with Wipro invited to work with government officials on an acceptable plan.
• The outreach follows fresh attention on ORR gridlock after BlackBuck’s CEO publicized commute delays, amplifying calls from industry leaders and residents for action.
• Authorities frame the request as a short-term step alongside longer-term projects such as Metro and road-widening, and no public agreement from Wipro has been reported.
