The Karnataka government granted approval for land allocation to establish India's inaugural "Quantum City" in Hessarghatta, located on Bengaluru's periphery.

Science and Technology Minister N S Boseraju stated that 6.17 acres have been designated for this forward-thinking initiative. The primary objective is to foster advanced research, stimulate innovation, and provide support for emerging companies in the rapidly expanding quantum technology sector, according to reports.

The state has established an ambitious goal to develop a quantum-based economy valued at 20 billion US dollars by 2035. The land approval, which received official authorization on September 3, 2025, also honors the commitment made by the state government during the Quantum India Bengaluru Conclave conducted earlier this year.

Minister Boseraju characterized the planned Quantum City as "a significant achievement for Karnataka." He emphasized that the project will draw investment and expertise from around the globe, establishing Bengaluru as an internationally recognized center for sophisticated quantum science research.

The development is anticipated to integrate various components of the quantum landscape, including educational institutions, research centers, innovation facilities, and manufacturing operations for quantum hardware, processors, and associated technologies.

The initiative will collaborate extensively with high-performance computing facilities, providing the necessary assistance to researchers and innovators to advance quantum technologies further.

In conjunction with this initiative, the government has designated eight acres of property to enhance the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS-TIFR). This enhancement is anticipated to promote academic activities and reinforce theoretical sciences research, which will support the broader framework being developed around the Quantum City.

MB Patil, Karnataka's Commerce and Industries Minister, has recently revealed plans for SWIFT City, which is planned to be the state's third significant organized industrial center following Electronics City and ITPL. This forward-thinking initiative will concentrate on startups, office spaces, innovation, financial services, and technology sectors. Patil stated that SWIFT City will tackle persistent issues raised by stakeholders who have been unhappy with Bengaluru's shortage of properly designed work environments.

The Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) released tenders seeking established consulting companies and organizations to create a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the planned Sarjapura Industrial Area located in Bengaluru Urban district.

Spanning 647.69 acres, the initiative involves establishing a new industrial district. The consulting services encompass financial evaluation, land surveying, layout development, engineering design, budget assessment, and formulation of a detailed cost framework.

The state administration is pursuing the transformation of Sarjapura into a major information technology center, drawing inspiration from Electronics City and Whitefield's International Tech Park. KIADB has received responsibility for procuring 1,050 acres of property for this venture, although there are worries that this expansion might conflict with initiatives aimed at alleviating traffic congestion in Bengaluru.
