Greater Bengaluru Launches Automated Nambike Nakshe 2.0 for Faster Building Approvals
The Greater Bengaluru Authority launched Nambike Nakshe 2.0, an automated system reducing building plan approval times from months to 30 minutes for properties on plots up to 50 by 80 feet. The system digitizes the entire process, eliminating manual scrutiny and allowing submissions through qualified architects. It integrates with e-Khata and other databases to simplify document requirements, aiming to enhance transparency and reduce delays. The initiative, led by Minister Krishna Byre Gowda, seeks to improve citizen experience and streamline approvals under the 'Brand Bengaluru' program.
