How Big is Devanahalli

Published On: 12 August 2026

Devanahalli spans a total land area of 429 square kilometres (165.6 square miles) in Bengaluru Rural District, comprising a 16-square-kilometre municipal town core and 413 square kilometres of rural land across 213 villages. Located about 40 kilometres northeast of Bengaluru's central business district, this subdistrict holds over 276,000 residents and serves as North Bengaluru's main growth hub. The region operates under the Bengaluru International Airport Area Planning Authority (BIAPPA), which manages a larger planning zone of 561 square kilometres.

Major government infrastructure and industrial layouts lead physical land distribution in Devanahalli. Kempegowda International Airport occupies 4,000 acres (16 square kilometres) of land, while the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) manages over 3,000 acres within the Aerospace and Hardware Park. Private residential and commercial townships make up about 20% of the usable land pipeline.

Large real estate projects show how big developments fit into the region's overall footprint. For instance, Embassy Knowledge Park covers 200 acres in the Yelahanka-Devanahalli corridor. Main roads like the 6-lane National Highway 44 (NH-44) and the upcoming 37-kilometre Namma Metro Phase 2B line connect Devanahalli's 429 square kilometres straight to Bengaluru's tech corridors.
