About
The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) is the apex body responsible for coordinating and supervising the activities of city corporations and overall development across Greater Bengaluru. Established on 15 May 2025, the GBA replaced the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) as the primary civic governance body. The Authority oversees an area of 712 km² and coordinates urban planning, infrastructure development, transportation, environmental management, and disaster management across the metropolitan region. The GBA operates through five municipal corporations (Central, East, North, South, and West Bengaluru) and serves as the Planning Authority for the region. It functions under the Greater Bengaluru Governance Bill, 2024, and is chaired by the Chief Minister with the Chief Commissioner as the Member Secretary.
