Bengaluru's Second Airport: Magadi and Dabaspet Sites Identified

The Karnataka government has identified two potential sites for Bengaluru's second airport: Magadi and Dabaspet. Both locations are being evaluated for feasibility based on factors such as land availability, connectivity, and environmental impact.

Magadi Site

The Magadi site is located about 50 km from Bengaluru city. It is being considered due to its proximity to the city and the availability of land. The area around Magadi Road has seen a boost from the upcoming Metro Phase 3, which includes a corridor from Hosahalli to Kadabagere (12.50 km). Additionally, the Bengaluru-Magadi Road is being four-laned, and the Sunkadakatte-Kamakshipalya Road is also being widened.

Dabaspet Site

The Dabaspet site is situated around 60 km from Bengaluru city. While further from the city center, the Dabaspet area is being evaluated for its potential to serve the growing industrial areas in the region. The area is part of the Chennai-Bengaluru-Mumbai Industrial Corridor project and has nine significant industrial areas.

Potential Impact on Real Estate

The proposed second airport is expected to have a significant impact on the real estate sector in the surrounding areas. The Nelamangala-Tumakuru region, which is close to both the Magadi and Dabaspet sites, is already experiencing rapid growth. The area is expected to attract more residents and investments as the airport project progresses.

Next Steps

No final decision has been made yet regarding the location of the second airport. The government is currently conducting feasibility studies and evaluating the pros and cons of each site. It is essential to prepare for a second airport now, as the 25-year agreement stating that no other airport can come up within a 150 km-radius of Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) comes to an end in 2033. As Bengaluru continues to grow and attract more air traffic, a second airport has become a necessity. The government's decision to identify potential sites is a step in the right direction, and the chosen location will have a significant impact on the city's future development and economic growth.
