Building Bengaluru's Future: Aerospace Land Reform and a Missing Article

As Bengaluru cements its place as a hub for aerospace and defence industries, the state government's revised approach to land acquisition offers a telling glimpse into how Karnataka is trying to balance industrial ambition with the rights of the farmers who stand in its path.

✈️ Karnataka Offers Farmers Rs 2.7 Crore Per Acre for Aerospace Park Land
