Area Overview
What makes Mahadevapura special
Mahadevapura sits between KR Puram and Whitefield on the Old Madras Road corridor, and it gives its name to one of the BBMP zones covering east Bengaluru.
The tech parks along and around the corridor — including the Bagmane and ITPL-adjacent campuses — are the local economy, and most residential development here has followed them.
The Namma Metro Purple Line has an operating station, which puts Whitefield and the city centre both within a straightforward metro ride. That is unusual on this side of Bengaluru.

Why choose Mahadevapura?
Mahadevapura has an operating Purple Line metro station — putting Whitefield fifteen minutes away and MG Road thirty, both without driving — plus Phoenix Marketcity about 3 km, tech park employment on the doorstep, and yields around 4.5–5%. The trade-offs are corridor congestion, Manipal Whitefield about 7 km rather than adjacent, and a large rental share that affects society stability.
