What projects is my government investing in Bengaluru?
Every tracked government-money announcement directed at Bengaluru — themes, programs, levels of government, and the largest verifiable amounts.
Summary
Transport is where public money is visibly concentrating, leading 600 city-linked announcements, with large pothole allocations of Rupees 750 crore and Rs 694 crore. Housing, welfare, waste management and deep-tech support also appear, but roads are the unmistakable political priority.
WATCH Watch whether pothole money turns into durable street repairs rather than repeated allocations.
