BDA Bengaluru Sep 2026 e-auction results: 23 of 90 sites drew no bidder

The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) published its Premium sites — Sep 2026 notice (BDA/EM/e-Auction/T-12/2026-27, dated 25 Aug 2026), having offered 90 sites across 32 layout groups in Bengaluru. The notice scheduled the e-auction to run on the authority-designated online portal named in the notice rather than in a room. BiddingPulse describes every site by its size and layout group, and our independent research covers all of them.

The notice set a published public timetable for the auction. The notice required bidders to record their interest by 19 Sep 2026, 5:00 PM IST, and bidding was scheduled for North Zone: 21 Sep 2026, 11:00 AM – 22 Sep 2026, 5:00 PM IST; South and West Zones: 22 Sep 2026, 11:00 AM – 23 Sep 2026, 5:00 PM IST. The notice set registration, its pre-bid payment process, and bidding on the Karnataka Public Procurement Portal (KPPP), the authority-designated portal named in the notice; any successful-bidder payments follow the authority’s separate terms, and the authoritative notice sits on bdakarnataka.in. BiddingPulse researches the auction and lays out its facts; it is never a party to it.

The official schedule lists each site’s area and rate; across this phase, the rates span ₹60,000 to ₹1,47,000 per square metre. It does not print each site’s total reserve price, so we worked it out by multiplying the area by the rate. Across these 90 sites, our reserve totals run from ₹18.19 L to ₹4.64 Cr. The sites measure 24 to 636 square metres. On bidding, the notice says: the first quoted rate per sq m must be more than 10% above the layout group’s published initial rate; exactly the 10% figure would not satisfy “more than” and the notice says such a bid is rejected. T-12’s group rates run ₹60,000–₹1,47,000 per sq m, so a valid first quote must be above ₹66,000 per sq m in the cheapest group and above ₹1,61,700 per sq m in the dearest — quoting either exact threshold is invalid. Bid-price raises are printed as multiples of ₹500 per sq m. The notice does not separately state whether the first quote itself must sit on that grid, so confirm the accepted input for your site on KPPP. Term 23’s ₹45,000-per-sq-m figure is only its worked example, not a T-12 group rate. The earnest-money deposit (EMD), a separate refundable deposit paid before bidding, is a flat ₹4 lakh for every site, whatever its area or group rate. The notification says an unsuccessful bidder’s ₹4 lakh EMD is credited back to their account interest-free within a reasonable time; paying the EMD into BDA’s bank account instead of through the e-auction portal attracts a stated 5% service charge on refund. That deposit is not the whole cost: a bidder also had to budget for an e-auction fee set on the e-procurement portal and paid alongside the EMD; the notification does not print its amount, a 5% service charge deducted from the EMD refund when the EMD was paid into BDA’s bank account instead of through the e-auction portal, and 1% tax deducted at source by the purchaser when the sale consideration exceeds ₹50 lakh, which the notification attributes to section 393 of the Income-tax Act, 2025.

This auction has concluded. This page is kept as a permanent, dated record of the notice; the facts above are preserved for reference, and BiddingPulse publishes no clearing prices or winners. Every figure traces to the cited Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) publications; the authority’s current documents and portal control.
