# Bidadi land compensation may exceed Rs 3 crore an acre, says CM 2026-08-10T05:17:43+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has indicated that compensation for land losers in the Bidadi township project could exceed Rs 3 crore per acre, a departure from the Rs 2.55 crore cap set by a government-appointed committee. The announcement came just before a joint padayatra by the JD(S) and BJP on Sunday. Documents accessed by The Hindu reveal the committee fixed compensation between Rs 2.07 crore and Rs 2.55 crore per acre, with a clause allowing higher payouts only where the guidance value exceeds the cap. GBDA sources confirmed only one such case exists so far, a Vaderahalli plot valued at Rs 90 lakh per acre, which triples under the FCTLARR Act plus interest and consent award. The CM also promised 50% developed land to those preferring land over cash. Opposition leader H.D. Kumaraswamy questioned the sudden increase. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: Bidadi Township, compensation, D K Shivakumar, Greater Bengaluru Development Authority, Karnataka, land acquisition Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bidadi-land-compensation-may-exceed-rs-3-crore-an-acre-says-cm/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
