New Projects & Properties in Electronic City, Bangalore
Electronic City is South Bangalore's original technology township — a 300+ acre industrial estate that grew into one of India's largest IT clusters along Hosur Road (NH-44). Today it pairs walk-to-work employment with some of the most affordable ready and under-construction apartment inventory in the city. With the Yellow Line Metro under construction along Hosur Road, the corridor is in the middle of its next infrastructure upgrade.
About Electronic City
Electronic City traces its origins to the late 1970s, when the Karnataka State Electronics Development Corporation (KEONICS) began developing an electronics manufacturing estate on the southern edge of Bangalore, well before the city became synonymous with software. Through the 1980s and 1990s the estate — spelled 'Electronics City' in its official form — attracted hardware and electronics units, and then the first generation of Indian IT services companies. Infosys and Wipro built flagship campuses here, and the address became shorthand for India's outsourcing boom.
Physically, the locality is organised into Phase 1 and Phase 2 within the KEONICS estate, with Neeladri Road forming the dense commercial and residential spine that connects them. Phase 1 holds the older, larger corporate campuses and the estate's institutional infrastructure; Phase 2 developed later with newer office blocks, and the surrounding villages — Konappana Agrahara, Doddathoguru, Hulimangala, Veerasandra — absorbed the housing demand that followed.
Residential growth here has been employment-led rather than speculation-led. Apartment supply arrived in waves keyed to campus expansion, first as compact 1 and 2 BHK stock for young IT staff, later as larger family formats with clubhouses and schools as those same buyers upgraded. The result is a locality with an unusually broad price band: budget projects along Hosa Road and Neeladri Road sit alongside newer, better-specified launches.
The current character is that of a self-contained working suburb rather than a lifestyle destination. Retail, hospitals, international schools and F&B have all followed the workforce, the Electronic City elevated expressway removed much of the through-traffic burden from Hosur Road, and the Yellow Line Metro — still under construction — is the change most buyers here are watching.
Why invest in Electronic City
Infosys and Wipro operate large campuses inside Electronics City, and Siemens, TCS and a long list of IT/ITES and electronics occupiers are located within the estate and its immediate surroundings. That concentration of salaried tenants is the single strongest driver of both end-use demand and rental occupancy in the micro-market.
The Electronic City elevated expressway on Hosur Road (NH-44), Hosa Road and the NICE Road interchange give the locality south and west connectivity that most emerging corridors are still waiting for. Access is an existing asset here, not a promise.
Namma Metro's Yellow Line runs along the Hosur Road corridor towards Bommasandra with stations serving Electronic City. It is under construction and not yet operational — treat it as an upside still to be delivered, not a current amenity.
Per-square-foot pricing in Electronic City generally sits below comparable inventory in Whitefield and along Sarjapur Road, which is why it remains the default first-purchase market for IT employees working in South Bangalore.

Property buying guide — Electronic City
- IT and ITES employees working in Electronics City Phase 1/Phase 2 who want a genuine walk-or-short-drive-to-work commute.
- First-time buyers with a budget-conscious brief who want an apartment in a mature, employment-backed locality rather than a purely speculative corridor.
- Investors targeting steady rental occupancy from a large salaried tenant pool, rather than short-horizon capital appreciation.
- Lower entry pricing than Whitefield and Sarjapur Road for comparable configurations.
- Very high employment density within the locality itself, which supports both resale demand and rentals.
- Established social infrastructure — schools, hospitals, retail and F&B already serve the resident workforce.
- Elevated expressway and NICE Road access are already operational.
- The Yellow Line Metro is still under construction — public transport today means buses and the elevated road, not rail.
- Hosur Road congestion during peak office hours remains a real constraint, especially at the service-road entry and exit points.
- The locality is workforce-oriented; buyers seeking a premium lifestyle address may find the character utilitarian.
- Inventory quality varies widely between older budget stock and newer launches — due diligence on the specific project matters more here than the postcode.
Electronic City — frequently asked questions
Is Electronic City a good place to live for IT employees?
Yes — it is arguably Bangalore's strongest walk-to-work location for IT staff, because Infosys, Wipro and a large cluster of technology occupiers are inside Electronics City Phase 1 and Phase 2. Many residents commute in minutes rather than hours.
When will the Electronic City metro be operational?
The Namma Metro Yellow Line along Hosur Road towards Bommasandra is under construction and serves Electronic City. It is not operational yet, and the commissioning date is decided by BMRCL — we do not publish speculative dates. Treat metro access as upside under construction.
Is Electronic City cheaper than Whitefield?
Generally yes. Per-square-foot pricing in Electronic City typically sits below comparable Whitefield and Sarjapur Road inventory, which is why it remains a first-purchase market for South Bangalore IT employees. Exact differentials depend on the specific project and configuration.
What is the price range for a 2 BHK in Electronic City?
It depends on the project, floor and specification. Live pricing for every RERA-listed project we track in Electronic City is shown in the projects section on this page — we publish only the developer-declared numbers we have verified, rather than an invented range.
What is the PIN code for Electronic City?
Electronic City is covered by PIN code 560100.
Which zone of Bangalore is Electronic City in?
Electronic City is in South Bangalore, along Hosur Road (NH-44) towards the Bangalore-Hosur boundary.
What is the difference between Electronic City Phase 1 and Phase 2?
Both are sections of the KEONICS electronics estate. Phase 1 is the older part, containing the largest flagship campuses and the estate's original infrastructure. Phase 2 developed later with newer office blocks. Neeladri Road is the main spine connecting the two.
How far is Electronic City from Kempegowda International Airport?
Roughly 50-55 km via NICE Road and the Outer Ring Road, which usually means a 1.5-2 hour drive depending on the time of day.
Is Hosur Road traffic a problem for Electronic City residents?
During peak office hours, yes. The elevated expressway removes much of the through-traffic, but service-road entry and exit points and the stretch towards Silk Board still congest in the morning and evening peaks.
Which developers are currently building in Electronic City?
The Top Developers section on this page is generated from the live projects we track in the locality, so it always reflects the developers with active listed inventory here rather than a static list.
Is Electronic City good for rental income?
The locality has one of Bangalore's largest concentrations of salaried IT tenants inside walking or short-driving distance, which supports consistent occupancy. Actual yields depend on the project, configuration and purchase price.
Are the projects listed here RERA-registered?
We publish the Karnataka RERA number where the developer has declared one, and show 'Details being verified' where we have not yet confirmed it. We never publish an unverified RERA number.
Does Electronic City have good schools and hospitals?
Yes — social infrastructure followed the workforce, and the locality and its immediate neighbours have schools, clinics and multi-speciality hospitals serving residents along Hosur Road and Neeladri Road.
Should I buy in Electronic City or wait for the metro to open?
Buying before commissioning is how buyers capture infrastructure-led appreciation, but it also means living without rail connectivity for now. If your commute is inside Electronics City, the metro matters less; if you commute across the city, it matters a lot.
