BDA Nears Completion of Malleswaram Market Redevelopment, Prepares Shop Handover
The redevelopment of Malleswaram flower market, initiated in 2014, is nearing completion with the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) finalising a concessionaire agreement for its operation and maintenance. The BDA plans to hand over 192 newly created shops on the ground floor of the redeveloped building to the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) for allotment to verified vendors. Vendors, displaced for 12 years, express hope but also concern over delays and losses incurred during the wait. The project faced delays due to site clearance issues, pandemic impacts, regulatory changes, and construction challenges.
