BDA Asserts RERA Has No Jurisdiction Over Delayed NKPL Project

Dated on: Wednesday 3rd September 2025

The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has claimed that the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) does not have jurisdiction over its Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout (NKPL) project, which has faced long delays. In its legal response, BDA argued it is not a “promoter” under RERA, as its operations are governed by the BDA Act, 1976, and related rules. The agency emphasized its statutory status and role in providing residential plots at concessional rates, citing Supreme Court judgments that recognize it as a self-contained authority. With complaints pending before RERA, BDA has maintained that its projects cannot be regulated under the Act.
