BDA Bengaluru July 2026 e-auction: 175 sites across Bengaluru

The Bengaluru Development Authority (BDA) published its July 2026 notice (T-08/2026-27, dated 25 Jun 2026), offering 175 sites across 44 layout-blocks in Bengaluru. An e-auction simply means the bidding runs on the authority-designated online portal named in the notice rather than in a room. BiddingPulse describes every site by its size and layout-block, and our independent research covers all of them.

The auction runs to a published public timetable. An eligible bidder records their interest and places the deposit by 27 Jul 2026, 5:00 PM IST, and bidding is held 28 Jul 2026, 11:00 AM – 31 Jul 2026, 5:00 PM IST. Every step — registering, paying, and bidding — happens on the Karnataka Public Procurement Portal (KPPP), the authority-designated portal named in the notice; the authoritative notice sits on bdakarnataka.in. BiddingPulse researches the auction and lays out its facts; it is never a party to it.

Two numbers decide what a site costs to chase. The first is the reserve price — the authority’s floor, below which no bid is accepted. It is not necessarily the opening bid — a bid must exceed the base price by more than 10%. Across these 175 sites the reserve runs from ₹32.15 L – ₹3.61 Cr, which works out to roughly ₹60,000 to ₹1,40,000 for every square metre, on sites of 41 to 516 square metres. The reserve is the floor, not the first valid bid and not the price it will settle at. The second number is the earnest-money deposit (EMD) — a refundable pre-bid deposit — here a flat ₹4.00 lakh on every site, whatever its size or reserve. These two are not the whole cost: a bidder also budgets for an e-auction fee set on the e-procurement portal, paid alongside the EMD and a 5% service charge deducted from the EMD refund only if it was paid to BDA’s bank account instead of through the portal.

This page grows in place rather than going stale: it begins as the notice's facts, links our research on each layout-block as that work is finished, and becomes the permanent dated record once bidding closes. Every figure here should be verified against the Bengaluru Development Authority (BDA) notice before acting.
