Karnataka Mulls Five-Corporation Model for Greater Bengaluru

The deputy chief minister has received the committee’s five-corporation blueprint with a ₹100 crore revenue cap to guide political consultations before a cabinet decision.

Overview

  • A Brand Bengaluru Committee report proposes dividing the existing BBMP area into five municipal corporations named Central, North, East, West and South
  • The plan limits revenue variance among the new corporations to ₹100 crore to promote balanced finances
  • Boundaries are drawn to boost administrative efficiency and align each unit with assembly constituency lines
  • High-revenue areas such as Mahadevapura and K. R. Puram are set to be split across multiple corporations under the proposal
  • The state will seek opposition input, hold a cabinet meeting and invite public objections before issuing a final notification by the August 25 deadline, with fresh delimitation and elections due by year-end
