Why Malur Is One of the Fastest Growing Investment Zones Near Bengaluru?
‍
The Bengaluru real estate market has always been attractive for investors. But as the city expands rapidly, people are now looking for emerging micro-markets that offer high appreciation, better connectivity and future-proof infrastructure. Malur, a fast-growing town in the Kolar district, has now become one of the most promising investment zones near Bengaluru.

Once known primarily for agriculture and manufacturing, Malur is now transforming into a hotspot for plotted developments, villa communities and long-term land investments. With major companies entering the region, multiple infrastructure upgrades and excellent proximity to Bengaluru, Malur is now being compared to early-stage Sarjapur and Whitefield growth cycles.

In this blog, let’s dive deep into why Malur is emerging as a preferred investment destination and why now is the right time to explore plots in Malur, especially in premium gated communities like Serene Exotica.

1. Exceptional Connectivity to Bengaluru

One of Malur’s biggest strengths is its seamless connectivity to major Bengaluru hubs.

Direct Train Connectivity

Malur has its own railway station with daily passenger and express trains connecting to:

  • KR Puram
  • Whitefield
  • Byappanahalli
  • Bangalore Cantonment
  • Bangalore City

This makes Malur one of the only emerging markets with fast, affordable and reliable train access directly to Bengaluru.

Road Connectivity

Malur is strategically connected to Bengaluru via:

  • Old Madras Road (NH75)
  • Hoskote–Malur Main Road
  • Kadugodi–Malur Road
  • Whitefield–Hoskote–Malur Belt

Travel times from Malur are highly favourable:

  • Whitefield - 20-25 mins
  • Hoskote - 15-20 mins
  • KR Puram - 35-40 mins
  • Sarjapur - 40 mins
    ‍

This makes Malur an ideal location for those who want connectivity without the high prices of Whitefield or Hoskote.

Rapid Industrial Growth Driving Employment & Housing Demand

Malur is part of the well-known Malur Industrial Belt, which is now home to:

✔ Automobile component manufacturers
✔ FMCG industries
✔ Packaging units
✔ Electrical factories
✔ Warehousing hubs
✔ Upcoming MSME expansions

Companies in and around Malur include:

  • Honda
  • Britannia
  • Mahindra Aerospace (nearby)
  • Volvo (nearby)
  • Infosys (proximity to Whitefield)

This industrial growth is creating continuous demand for housing, especially for villa plots and residential communities.

Typical Plot Pricing Comparison

Location            Price per sq.ft           Appreciation Potential

Whitefield   ₹10,000 - 14,000    Saturated
Hoskote           ₹5,000 - 8,000             Moderate
Sarjapur           ₹8,000 - 10,000             High but costly
Malur             ₹3,000 - 5,000             Very High (Early Stage Growth)

Investing in Malur today is like investing in Whitefield 10–12 years ago - early, affordable, and future-ready.


4. Upcoming Government & Infrastructure Developments

Multiple infrastructure upgrades are directly benefiting Malur’s long-term growth:

✔ Stronger road widening projects
✔ Planned industrial expansion
✔ Bengaluru–Kolar Corridor influence
✔ New schools, hospitals & commercial developments
✔ IT/BT influence from Whitefield & Hoskote
✔ Future potential for better suburban rail connectivity

These developments ensure both short-term appreciation and long-term stability for investors.

5. Increasing Demand for Plotted Developments

Malur has seen a massive shift toward premium gated layouts, especially villa plots with amenities, security, and clubhouse features.

Why investors prefer plotted developments here:
✔ Higher land appreciation
✔ Lower maintenance
✔ Freedom to build
✔ Ideal for long-term investment
✔ Gated community safety
✔ Better resale value

Projects like Serene Exotica by Urbanest Realty are becoming top choices for investors who want a secure, well-planned, RERA-approved villa plot community in Malur.


6. Strategic Location for Long-Term Appreciation

Malur sits perfectly between key growth zones:

  • Whitefield Technology Hub
  • Hoskote Industrial & Residential Hub
  • Kolar Highway Belt
  • Bengaluru-Chennai Industrial Corridor (Influence Zone)

This triangulation makes Malur a powerful appreciation zone for the next decade.

7. Ideal for Both End Users & Investors

Malur is attracting:

✔ Working professionals from Whitefield & ITPL
✔ Investors looking for early-stage growth
✔ Families preferring peaceful villa communities
✔ NRIs exploring affordable land investments
