Doddaballapur: Rising Growth Hub with STRR Connectivity
Overview of Doddaballapur
Located in the northern outskirts of Bengaluru, Doddaballapur is rapidly emerging as a strategic satellite town, driven by its proximity to Kempegowda International Airport and strong industrial, residential, and infrastructure development. Traditionally known for its textile industry, Doddaballapur is now gaining momentum as a preferred location for smart investments, sustainable living, and seamless regional access.STRR – Satellite Town Ring Road: A Game Changer
- Doddaballapur Section (STRR Phase 1) connects to NH 648 (Bangalore–Doddaballapur–Hindupur Road), enhancing accessibility to the northwestern belt of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
- STRR corridor intersects major highways including NH-44 (towards Hyderabad), NH-75 (towards Mangaluru), and NH-948 (towards Coimbatore), positioning Doddaballapur as a key transit and logistics node.
- Once complete, STRR will provide faster, signal-free access between Doddaballapur and major industrial hubs like Peenya, Tumakuru, Bidadi, and Electronic City without having to enter central Bengaluru.
Benefits of STRR for Doddaballapur

- ✅ Boost to Real Estate & Urban Development With STRR and the upcoming Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) projects, Doddaballapur is becoming a hotspot for residential layouts, plotted developments, and industrial zones. Property prices are witnessing a steady rise, making it ideal for long-term investors.
