The Greater Bengaluru Governance Act, 2024
The Greater Bengaluru Governance Act, 2024 (Karnataka Act No. 36 of 2025) is a law passed by the Karnataka legislature to redefine and reorganize the governance and administration of Bengaluru and its metropolitan region.
Its purpose is to introduce a framework of institutions, processes, and powers for effective urban governance in what is called the Greater Bengaluru Are.
The ACT replaces and supersedes prior laws (notably the BBMP Act, 2020) governing Bengaluru’s municipal administration.
The Need For The Greater Bengaluru Governance Act, 2024
- Bengaluru’s growth over decades created a highly fragmented institutional setup: multiple civic agencies (water, transport, development authorities) operating with overlapping roles and poor coordination.
- The existing system under BBMP and associated Acts was not structured to handle metropolitan-scale issues, large infrastructure projects, or uniform planning across expanding suburbs.
- The new Act aims to integrate planning, streamline functions, and strengthen accountability and citizen participation across the larger urban region.
Key Features Of The Greater Bengaluru Governance Act, 2024
Three-tier Governance Model
- Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) — a metropolitan apex body
- City Corporations — up to seven independent local bodies under the GBA
- Ward Committees — grassroots level participatory units
Dissolution & Vesting of BBMP and other local bodies
When the Act comes into force, BBMP and other existing municipal/ local bodies within the defined area are dissolved, and their assets/liabilities vest in the State (until reassigned) or in the new entities.
Constitution of GBA
- The Chief Minister acts as ex-officio Chairperson.
- A Chief Commissioner (senior government official) is appointed as the principal executive head.
- Members include ministers, MLAs, MPs whose constituencies fall within Greater Bengaluru, and mayors of the city corporations.
Powers and functions
- GBA is tasked with coordinating and supervising public authorities (water, transport, electricity, etc.) in the area, issuing binding directions.
- Acts as the planning authority for the Greater Bengaluru Area under the Karnataka Town & Country Planning Act.
- It can plan and execute major infrastructure projects that span across city corporation boundaries.
- GBA must establish an Economic Development Agency and a Climate Action Cell to guide growth and sustainability.
Financial and accountability measures
- GBA can receive grants, borrow funds, and prepare its own budget.
- Its accounts are subject to audit (including oversight by Comptroller & Auditor General) and an annual reporting requirement.
Territorial flexibility
- The State Government can notify and revise the boundaries of the Greater Bengaluru Area over time.
The Greater Bengaluru Governance Act – Implementation And Transition
- The law came into effect starting May 15, 2025, as the “appointed date” for restructuring to begin.
- During the transition, BBMP continued to function until GBA and the new corporations became fully operational (by September 2, 2025).
- The law allows up to seven city corporations to be formed within its jurisdiction; the government started with five initially.
