Metro Extension Fuels Real Estate Momentum

Bengaluru’s real estate sector is expanding rapidly, and the metro line extension towards Tumkur is emerging as a major catalyst. With infrastructure development unlocking new zones, property values are expected to climb steadily over the next 2–3 years.

Key Highlights

Land prices in and around the metro route are already on the rise.

Strategic areas along the upcoming corridor are witnessing heightened interest from investors and developers.

This metro project is poised to reshape the investment landscape across both Bengaluru and Tumkur, making real estate in the region even more attractive.

What’s Driving the Price Surge?
