What is BDA?
The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) is a statutory body under the Government of Karnataka responsible for the planning, development, and regulation of land in the Bangalore metropolitan area. Established in 1976 under the Bangalore Development Authority Act, it plays a key role in urban expansion by acquiring land, developing residential layouts, commercial sites, and infrastructure such as roads, parks, and civic amenities. The BDA also prepares the Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) and issues plan sanctions for buildings in the areas under its jurisdiction. It is widely referenced in property transactions, real estate projects, and urban governance discussions across Karnataka. For students preparing for state civil services or KAS exams, understanding the BDA's functions and its role in Bangalore's rapid urbanization is important for questions on urban planning and local government bodies in India.
