Karnataka HC Orders Scrap of Bengaluru-Mysuru Corridor Project After 25 Years, 1 KM Built
- •The Karnataka High Court directed the state government to scrap the Bengaluru-Mysuru Infrastructure Corridor (BMIC) project.
- •Only 1 km of the proposed 111-km expressway was constructed in over 25 years, rendering the project ineffective.
- •The court suggested a fresh project, discarding the old framework, for the benefit of the city, citizens, and environment.
- •Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprise (NICE) built 47 km of peripheral roads and collects tolls, but failed to achieve the core 110-km expressway and five satellite townships.
- •The project has led to extensive litigation with over 2,000 cases and has not progressed despite a 2021 Supreme Court judgment.
Why It Matters: Karnataka HC scraps the 25-year-old Bengaluru-Mysuru Corridor project due to minimal progress and litigation.
