The industrial corridor is going to transform the micro-market along the Tumkur Road into a major growth node for Bangalore.

The area along the both sides of Tumkur Road, within a 4-5 km radius, is likely to develop into an influence zone for the proposed Mumbai-Bangalore Industrial Corridor in terms of residential belts like the Magadi Road, Hesaraghatta, Jalahalli, and other areas up to Yeshwanthpur, said Girish KS, Local Director - Strategic Consulting, Jones Lang LaSalle India. The proposed Mumbai-Bangalore Industrial Corridor is expected to connect Bangalore City in the north-western side of the city along Tumkur Road.

Some of the key infrastructure projects rendered operational in the area in the recent past include the Elevated Expressway, Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor (BMIC) and Bangalore International Exhibition Center (BIEC).
