Bengaluru’s city’s growing employment opportunities and urban expansion, and severe traffic congestion is hurting workforce productivity and city competitive-ness. However, the city can use a transit-oriented development (TOD) strategy to address this. This study maps 2023 data on Bengaluru’s registered factories, shops, and commercial establishments (location and associated jobs) to assess current job proximity to, and density along, the city’s operational and under-construction metro network. We find that of the total mapped jobs in the Bengaluru Metropolitan Area, 28 percent are within 500 m of the nearest metro station, 59 percent within 1,000 m, and 85 percent within 2,000 m, considering Phases 1, 2, and 2A-2B of the metro network, which cover 172 km. Our study reveals that the lack of suitable properties, an enabling regulatory framework and incentives for redevelopment, and inadequate public infrastructure levels are the main barriers discouraging large businesses from locating near metro stations.
