Enact a law for Bengaluru's civic body bringing all service providers under a single agency
“To enact a comprehensive legislation exclusively for the management of BBMP bringing all service providers such as Water Supply and sewage, transport, housing, power and development authorities, under a single agency”
The verdict
The Greater Bengaluru Governance Act, 2024 took effect on 15 May 2025, dissolving the BBMP and creating a CM-chaired Greater Bengaluru Authority over five new corporations, with a coordinating role over planning and infrastructure. It is a supervisory body rather than one agency running all utilities.
