Bengaluru is set to receive a significant environmental boost with the development of a 65-acre Tree Park in Baiyappanahalli, one of East Bengaluru’s most densely populated and traffic-heavy zones.
The project is coming up on the former NGEF factory land, transforming an old industrial site into a large public green space-a powerful symbol of how cities can evolve from pollution-heavy pasts to sustainable futures.
The initiative reflects Bengaluru’s growing focus on urban greenery, climate resilience, and quality of life, especially as the city continues to expand rapidly.
Government Push Behind the Project
The project recently received attention after MB Patil, Karnataka’s Industries Minister, visited the site to review its progress.
Key project highlights:
- Total area: 65 acres
- Estimated cost: ₹37.75 crore
- Tree count: Over 8,000 trees
- Phase 1 opening: Expected by March
Once completed, the Baiyappanahalli Tree Park will rank among the largest upcoming urban parks in Bengaluru.
Why Baiyappanahalli Needed a Tree Park
Baiyappanahalli sits at the crossroads of:
- Metro corridors
- Old Madras Road traffic
- IT and commercial clusters
The area experiences:
- High vehicular density
- Elevated air and noise pollution
- Limited open public spaces
Converting industrial land into green infrastructure is a strategic urban correction, especially in fast-growing zones like East Bengaluru.
Neighbourhoods Set to Benefit
The Tree Park will act as a green lung for multiple surrounding areas, including:
- Indiranagar
- KR Puram
- CV Raman Nagar
- Mahadevapura
- Whitefield
- Old Madras Road belt
For residents in these zones, the park will offer:
- Cleaner air
- Cooler microclimate
- Space for walking, cycling, and relaxation
- Community and wellness activities
Environmental Impact: More Than Just Trees 🌱
Large urban green spaces play a critical role in city ecosystems.
🌍 Environmental Benefits
- Reduction in urban heat island effect

Industrial Land to Green Landmark: A Powerful Shift
The transformation of NGEF land highlights a broader policy shift:
- From industrial pollution → environmental restoration
- From closed factory compounds → public access spaces
- From concrete dominance → climate-sensitive planning
This model could inspire similar redevelopments across Bengaluru and other Indian cities.
Where Carbasket Fits In: Green Action Beyond Policy
Urban sustainability isn’t built by governments alone—it also needs responsible industry participation.

Sustainable Cities Need Both Parks & Responsible Mobility
As Bengaluru grows with:
- Metro expansions
- IT corridors
- Flyovers and highways
It must also invest in:
- Green buffers
