The renaming acknowledges the former Prime Minister’s vision and the infrastructure push that transformed Bengaluru into a global technology hub.
Dr. Singh’s tenure saw the launch of pivotal projects, including the Bangalore-Electronic City Elevated Highway, a critical link between the city and its IT zones, and the six-laning of the Bengaluru–Nelamangala NH4 corridor with its landmark 4-km elevated stretch. His government also gave early policy support to the Bengaluru Metro project, today central to the city’s mobility.
