All You Need To Know About BDA Kempegowda Layout

In order to cater to the growing housing needs of local population , Bengaluru Development Authority had identified a site near Mysuru Road and Yeshwantpur along NICE Road to form Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout. While the work on the project was started in 2003, the allotment has started very recently.  The layout will be home to 7.5 lakh people, once developed to full potential. 

Here is all you need to know about KG layout-

KG Layout is being developed in an area of over 4,000 acres and 27 guntas of land in Kengeri and Yeshwantpur. While the work on the project is still ongoing, so far, BDA has taken over over 2,200 acre land and 11 guntas to form 17,920 sites.

Of 17,920 plots formed, 5,000 sites have been allotted to general public and around 2,800 land parcels were allotted to site losers in Arkvathy Layout during 2016-17 in phase I. Under phase II, 4,971 sites have been allotted to the general applicants while 3,800 to land losers and 1,650 to those who gave up their land for infrastructure projects.

Latest development

In order to provide relief to the allottees, BDA has relaxed few norms. This includes-

• Deadline for paying the upfront amount has been extended by a month. Earlier, the deadline was 60 days from the date of receiving letter.
• BDA has proposed to the state government to do away with the 10-year lock-in period. At present, the plan is to give 10-year lease-cum-sale deed which forbids them to sell the site for 10 years from date of allotment. If the proposal is accepted, applicants can get sale deed soon after payment of final due. 
• BDA has also asked the government to allow the allottees to pay the dues in three equated quarterly instalments for sites worth Rs 1 crore.
• BDA has planned five commercial hubs and educational institutes along Major Arterial Road. 

Demand for metro

Recently, allottees of KG Layout has written a letter to Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited to extend the metro rail service from Kengeri to Chellaghattta, Baiyapanahalli and MAR connecting Mysuru Road to Magadi Road which passes through the layout. Since the MAR is 330 meters wide, it has adequate space for accommodating metro pillars. 

Challenges

The allottees are facing tough time to construct a home at allotted sites. According to a media report, buyers have complained that the infrastructure is still not in place in either of the phases. Around 400 allottees have already surrendered the plots in Phase I. Apart from financial pressure and construction clause, buyers are quoting that most of the sites are in low lying areas and near to waterbodies, making construction difficult and costly.
