Bengaluru Launches Automated Building Plan Approval System Nambike Nakshe 2.0
Bengaluru's Greater Bengaluru Authority has launched Nambike Nakshe 2.0, an automated system to approve building plans for residential sites up to 4,000 sq ft with up to four dwelling units. The system aims to reduce human intervention, paperwork, and delays, enabling faster, transparent approvals within 30 minutes for eligible plans submitted online. Initially piloted in select areas, the system will be reviewed before wider implementation. Development Minister Krishna Byre Gowda emphasized simplifying the process from the citizen's perspective.
