Karnataka budget 2026-27: Bengaluru gets ₹1.5cr for new airport
Big news for Bengaluru! The 2026-27 Karnataka budget just dropped, with ₹4.48 lakh crore total outlay, which includes allocations for Bengaluru projects.
Top highlights: a second airport to ease the load on Kempegowda International, plus a 41km Namma Metro extension that could help 15 lakh more people get around.
Other allocations for the city
The budget also covers seven new domestic airports (including Bengaluru's), progress on the Suburban Railway (land acquisition for Corridor-2 is complete and construction is underway), and smarter traffic management with digital tools and better footpaths.
On the fun side, expect 175 spruced-up junctions, 100 new Miyawaki parks, an 80,000-seat cricket stadium, and even a digital library, so there's something for everyone in this city upgrade.
