Bellary Road is one of north Bengaluru's most-watched residential corridors in 2026. The road runs 52–55 km from Basavangudi to Yelahanka town. It is officially designated National Highway NH-44 (formerly NH-44). The Namma Metro Phase 3 is currently under construction along the corridor. The road meets the Outer Ring Road and the upcoming Peripheral Ring Road (PRR). Big lifestyle anchors include Yelahanka Lake, Esteem Mall (Hebbal, ~9 km), and Forum Mall Manyata Tech Park. National developers like Embassy Group, Prestige, Brigade and Sobha are active here. Bellary Road has become north Bengaluru's structural growth corridor. Premium launches like Embassy Knowledge Park at Yelahanka (near GKVK Campus green belt (~5 km)) now define its identity.

Bellary Road — Quick Corridor Facts

Bellary Road (NH-44) begins at Mekhri Circle in north Bangalore. It extends north toward Devanahalli and onward to Bellary / Hyderabad. The route passes through Hebbal, Yelahanka, Devanahalli and the Kempegowda International Airport. It is a 4–6 lane National Highway. The road is officially National Highway NH-44 (formerly NH-44). It connects Bengaluru northward to Bellary (~315 km) and onward to Hyderabad (~575 km).

The corridor is unusually well-resourced for a north-Bengaluru arterial. The road meets the Outer Ring Road at Hebbal junction and links north to the airport, while ORR onward gives access to Devanahalli, Hebbal and Manyata Tech Park via the eastern ring.

Overview of Bellary Road's Real Estate Transformation

A few decades ago, Bellary Road was a peripheral, shrub-lined "cutcha" (unpaved) arterial — a rural route where buses and bullock carts had to wade across the Arkavathi River. Things look very different now.

The transformation played out in three phases. First, the road was upgraded from Kankanhalli Road into a divided highway. It was renamed National Highway NH-44 (earlier NH-44). Then, in the late 2010s and early 2020s, the Namma Metro Phase 3 extension arrived. Four corridor stations came online — Banashankari, Hebbal, and Yelahanka Junction. Hebbal became the eastern terminal. Finally, the social infrastructure layer arrived. Esteem Mall (Hebbal, ~9 km) opened at Manyata Tech Park. Manipal Hospital, Hebbal Railway Station and the global GKVK Campus green belt followed. University campuses like Jain and Dayananda Sagar set up here too. Together, these shifts repositioned Bellary Road. It went from a distant suburb route to one of Bengaluru's most desirable residential corridors.

How Bellary Road Became North Bengaluru's Premium Belt

Land in Jayanagar and Hebbal dried up. Prices ran ahead of practical end-user budgets. The southbound upgrade buyer moved along Bellary Road. The corridor offered four strong advantages — metro walkability, dual-ring-road access (ORR + NICE), Cauvery water on inner stretches, and clean-air sub-localities like Yelahanka–Yelahanka Junction. National developers followed. Embassy Group set up at Yelahanka. Prestige built further south. Brigade anchored at Meadows. Sobha launched across multiple sub-localities. Each brought premium product to the catchment.

The Metro Inflection Point

The Namma Metro Phase 3 was the single biggest catalyst. Before the extension, Bellary Road was a road-only arterial. It was well-located on paper but commute-limited in practice. Now Banashankari, Hebbal, and Yelahanka Junction are all operational. Residents get rapid, traffic-free access to Majestic via the Purple Line interchange. They can also reach R.V. Road via the Yellow Line. The metro reset the corridor's value perception. It also unlocked the developer interest that has shaped its 2026 identity.

Namma Metro Phase 3 on Bellary Road

Bellary Road is the only major north-Bengaluru corridor with a fully operational metro in 2026. The metro covers the full residential length of the road. The Namma Metro Phase 3 runs from Nagasandra in the north to Hebbal in the south. The eastern stretch covers Bellary Road. Five stations serve the primary residential belt directly:

• Manyata Tech Park — Serves the Forum Mall Manyata Tech Park catchment and inner Hebbal residential pocket
• Yelahanka — Mid-corridor residential anchor with high pedestrian and BMTC connectivity
• Yelahanka — Opened operational since 2017; anchor for the Yelahanka–Yelahanka belt; serves Embassy Knowledge Park and adjacent boutique launches
• Yelahanka Junction — Adjacent station southward; serves the Yelahanka residential belt and the KSRTC-Yelahanka Bus Stand
• Hebbal — Southern terminal of the Phase 3 corridor

Connecting transit options include the operational Green Line terminus at Nagasandra (~15 km), the planned Phase 3 metro stations at Hebbal and Yelahanka, and the Blue Line for KIA airport (U/C). Commuters can interchange to the Purple Line at Majestic for east-west travel across the city.
