Forest Minister Ramalinga Reddy directed Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) officials to take strict action against industrial, residential and commercial polluters in Anekal taluk. He inspected Chandapura, Ramakrishnapura, Hennagara, Heelalige and Muthanalluru lakes with KSPCB and municipal officials, local leaders and residents.

The inspection followed concerns about untreated industrial effluents and sewage entering the lakes from Electronics City, Jigani and Bommasandra industrial areas, and residential areas under Nagarasabhe and Purasabhe gram panchayat limits. Reddy directed officials to enforce environmental regulations and National Green Tribunal directions, and hold industries and local bodies responsible for untreated discharges.

After reviewing treatment plants, he ordered a time-bound plan to complete sewage treatment plant works and ensure treatment facilities are fully operational. KSPCB was also directed to strengthen monitoring of industrial discharge points in Electronics City, Bommasandra, Jigani and Attibele. Reddy said the government would continue monitoring the situation and take steps to protect and restore the water bodies.

South Bengaluru’s growth is extending from Electronic City to Bommasandra, Jigani, Anekal and Attibele, while Hosur adds manufacturing and logistics employment. The Yellow Line connects Electronic City with Bengaluru and ends at Bommasandra. Baiyappanahalli–Hosur railway doubling work is progressing on different sections; wider road and rail development is expected to benefit Anekal. The Karnataka government lists Jigani Phase 1 and 2 among Bengaluru Urban’s key industrial areas.

M5 Mahendra Group announced an investment of around ₹350 crore in Mahendra Solterra, Electronic City Phase II. Panattoni announced a 25-acre industrial and logistics park in Hosur. Attibele is not currently served by the Yellow Line.

The Karnataka government issued final notification to acquire 1,427.34 acres for the Bengaluru Business Corridor, also known as Peripheral Ring Road-2 (PRR-2), a 52-km road connecting Mysuru Road with Hosur Road. The corridor links industrial and residential areas of Jigani, Bommasandra and Attibele, offering an alternative to NICE Road and allowing traffic between suburbs and industrial areas to bypass the city's congested core.

Landowners offered five compensation options: those losing up to 20 guntas can opt for full cash compensation; those losing more than 20 guntas may choose cash, additional floor-area ratio (FAR), transferable development rights (TDR), residential sites or commercial sites. Developed-site compensation proposed at 60:40 ratio for residential land (9,583 sq ft per acre) or 65:35 for commercial land (8,385 sq ft per acre).

Alignment passes through 31 villages. Planned sections: 33.45 km between Mysuru Road and Hosur Road, 8.4 km from Magadi Road to Madavara on Tumakuru Road, 10 km in Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout (already complete), and S M Krishna Road (Magadi Road to Mysuru Road, open to traffic).

PRR-2 forms southern arm of 125-km ring-road network alongside 73-km PRR-1 in north. Road will have 100-metre right of way with approximately 65 metres allocated for traffic.

On August 21, 2026, BMRCL said it had prepared a feasibility report for a 10.5-km elevated extension of Namma Metro’s Yellow Line from Bommasandra to Attibele, near the Tamil Nadu border, with multiple stations. It may invite tenders for a Detailed Project Report. The route is expected to run mostly along the right side of NH-44 near Hosur Road, with underground sections considered where needed.

Tamil Nadu’s Budget recently proposed advancing a 12-km metro corridor between Hosur and Bommasandra. A Chennai Metro Rail Corporation feasibility report indicates part of that corridor would run through Karnataka; the systems could meet near the Attibele–Hosur border.

Technical integration remains difficult: Bengaluru Metro operates six-coach trains, while Tamil Nadu’s proposed system is understood to use three-coach trains. Their traction and overhead electrification systems also differ.
