Karnataka plans India’s first AI-powered mega city

Karnataka is moving ahead with one of its most ambitious urban development initiatives as Chief Minister DK Shivakumar pushes forward the proposed Greater Bengaluru Integrated Township at Bidadi, a project envisioned to reshape the State’s economic and urban landscape while reducing pressure on Bengaluru’s overstretched infrastructure.

Planned across nearly 7,500 to 9,600 acres in nine villages of Ramanagara district, around 30 to 40 kilometres southwest of Bengaluru, the township is being designed as India’s first AI-powered integrated city.
