Hoskote

Hoskote is a town and taluk headquarters in Bengaluru Rural district, on the eastern side of the Bangalore metropolitan region. It is located on NH 75, also called Old Madras Road, and Hoskote PIN code is 562114. Hoskote is about 30 km by road from Majestic, around 13 km from Whitefield, about 26 km from Bellandur and roughly 28–30 km from Hebbal, depending on the exact route. The town is written as ಹೊಸಕೋಟೆ in Kannada.

Hoskote is famous for its dum biryani, the 808-acre Hoskote Lake, Old Madras Road location, industrial activity and growing housing market. It also sits close to Whitefield's IT corridor and connects with Bengaluru's wider peripheral road network through NH 75 and NH 648/STRR. For buyers comparing Bangalore's outer growth corridors, Prestige Parklane is a new-launch Prestige apartment project in Devanahalli, North Bangalore. It is not in Hoskote, but both locations are linked to the wider airport, STRR, industrial and peripheral growth of Bengaluru.

Hoskote Quick Facts

The Bengaluru Rural district administration lists Kasaba, Anugondanahalli, Jadigenahalli, Sulibele and Nandagudi as the five hoblis of Hoskote taluk.

Hoskote Location and Address

Hoskote location is in Bengaluru Rural district, east of Bangalore city and along the Bengaluru-Kolar section of NH 75. It is often called part of East Bangalore in property searches because of its link with Whitefield, Kadugodi and KR Puram, but administratively Hoskote is outside Bengaluru Urban district.

A general Hoskote address can be written as Hoskote, Bengaluru Rural District, Karnataka - 562114. Hoskote town is also governed by its own City Municipal Council rather than BBMP.

The wider Hoskote taluk extends much farther than the town. This matters when checking a property address. A project marketed as “Hoskote” may be in Nandagudi, Sulibele, Jadigenahalli, Anugondanahalli or another village within the taluk rather than inside Hoskote town.

Hoskote Direction - How to Reach Hoskote

The main Hoskote direction from Bangalore uses Old Madras Road and NH 75. From central Bengaluru, the route runs east through the KR Puram side and continues toward Hoskote.

From Whitefield and Kadugodi, Hoskote can be reached through the Whitefield-Hoskote side roads and NH 75 connections. Regional traffic toward Kolar and Mulbagal also passes through the Hoskote corridor.

For travel toward the northern and southern outskirts of Bengaluru, NH 648 and the developing Satellite Town Ring Road network add another route option. Actual travel time changes sharply during peak traffic.

Hoskote to Bangalore Distance

Hoskote to Bangalore distance is about 30 km by road when Majestic is used as the central Bangalore reference point. Current route data places Hoskote to Majestic at about 29.7–30.5 km.

There is no one fixed “Hoskote to Bangalore” distance because Bangalore covers a very large area. Whitefield is much closer to Hoskote than Majestic, while places in South or West Bangalore require a longer trip.

Route planners currently show about 13 km to Whitefield, 25.7 km to Bellandur and around 28–30 km to Hebbal. Airport-route results vary by the exact Hoskote starting point and access road.

Does Hoskote Have a Metro Station?

No, Hoskote does not have an operational Namma Metro station as of September 2026. The nearest practical Metro access is on the Purple Line toward Whitefield and Kadugodi.

Whitefield (Kadugodi) Metro Station is around 12-13 km from Hoskote town. Other Purple Line stations around Hopefarm, Kadugodi Tree Park and the ITPL side are also accessible from Hoskote.

Claims about a confirmed Hoskote Metro should be treated carefully unless BMRCL formally approves and publishes the route.

Which Railway Station Is Near Hoskote?

Hoskote town does not have a major operational passenger railway terminal of its own. Whitefield Railway Station is generally the nearest useful rail option from the western side of Hoskote, while KR Puram is a larger rail hub for wider services.

The exact road distance depends on where the journey starts inside Hoskote taluk. Buyers and commuters should not use project-specific railway distances as the distance for the whole town.

What Is Hoskote Famous For?

Hoskote is famous for dum biryani, Hoskote Lake, its location on Old Madras Road and its role as an eastern gateway from Bangalore toward Kolar. The town is also gaining importance for logistics, warehousing, manufacturing and residential development.

Hoskote's food identity is strong enough that Karnataka Tourism has a dedicated page for Hoskote Dum Biryani, especially its mutton dum biryani and traditional slow-cooking style.

The other major landmark is Hoskote Lake. The Bengaluru Rural district administration records it as an 808-acre wetland with resident and migratory birds.

Hoskote Biryani

Hoskote biryani is one of the town's best-known food searches. It is closely linked with mutton dum biryani and an early-morning eating culture that draws visitors from Bengaluru.

This local tradition also produced a fresh 2026 update. In August 2026, Hoskote police asked biryani outlets not to serve before 6 AM, citing early-morning crowds, parking problems, traffic and safety concerns.

That change is useful for visitors planning an early Hoskote biryani trip. Outlet timings should be checked before travelling.

Hoskote Toll Plaza and NH 75

The Hoskote Toll Plaza is located at Km 307.700 on NH 75 on the Bengaluru–Kolar–Mulbagal corridor. The NHAI record identifies the tollable stretch as 16.124 km.

The NHAI page available online still displays an older fee schedule and an earlier revision date. For this reason, a current FASTag charge should be checked before travel instead of using an old toll figure as the September 2026 rate.

There is also a separate 2026 road update around Hoskote. A Government of India notification dated 3 September 2026 introduced user-fee provisions for parts of NH 648 and NH 948A, including the Tamil Nadu/Karnataka-to-Hoskote section of NH 648.

Hoskote Lake and Famous Temples

Hoskote Lake covers about 808 acres and is one of the area's main natural landmarks. The district administration describes it as an important wetland for resident and migratory birds. Bird counts have recorded hundreds of species at the lake.

Hoskote taluk also has several recognised temples. The district tourism pages identify Kaalabhairaveshwara Temple at Jadigenahalli, Kalkunte Ranganathaswamy Temple and Sapta Maateyara Temple among the important religious places in the taluk.

So there is no need to force one temple into an unsupported “most famous” ranking.

Hoskote Industrial Area and Employment

Hoskote's job market is not based only on Whitefield IT offices. The wider corridor also supports manufacturing, logistics, warehouses, automobile-linked activity and industrial estates.

Whitefield and ITPL remain important employment areas for residents travelling west. At the same time, Hoskote's access toward Narsapura, Malur and Kolar gives it a separate industrial and logistics role.

A clear recent example came in August 2026, when DHL Supply Chain leased about 2.4 lakh sq ft of warehouse space at Ekarajapura village in Hoskote taluk. The reported five-year lease was worth about ₹35 crore.

Hoskote Property Rates 2026

Current asking-price data is higher than the older figures used on this page.

Magicbricks reported an average Hoskote multistorey apartment asking rate of about ₹9,169 per sq ft in Q2 2026, with a reported range of ₹6,712 to ₹11,626 per sq ft. Housing.com currently shows an average of about ₹9,286 per sq ft across its Hoskote dataset.

These are portal asking-price datasets, not one official government market rate. Actual prices change by project, age, approval, size and exact micro-location.

Plots should also be compared separately. Plot prices are often quoted per square yard, while apartments are normally quoted per square foot. Mixing these figures gives buyers the wrong comparison.

Is Hoskote a Good Place to Live?

Hoskote can suit people who work around Whitefield, Kadugodi, Hoskote or the eastern industrial belt and do not need a daily central-Bangalore commute.

Its main advantages are NH 75 access, proximity to Whitefield, a growing housing market and local employment from industrial and logistics activity.

The main limits are also clear. Hoskote does not have its own Metro station, many trips remain road-dependent, and central Bangalore is around 30 km away. Infrastructure can also vary between Hoskote town and newer outer villages.

A buyer should therefore judge the exact address rather than treating the whole Hoskote taluk as one locality.

Hoskote and Prestige Parklane – Bangalore's Outer Growth Corridors

Hoskote and Prestige Parklane belong to different Bangalore growth corridors.

Hoskote is on the eastern side of Bengaluru, linked with Whitefield, NH 75, Kolar-side industry and STRR. Prestige Parklane is a new-launch Prestige apartment project in Devanahalli, North Bangalore, inside KIADB Phase 2 near the airport and aerospace corridor.

Prestige Parklane has 9 residential towers, 1,788 apartments and 1, 2 and 3 BHK homes, with current prices from ₹56 lakh to ₹1.92 crore (car park and floor rise included; GST and other charges extra). The connection to Hoskote is not that the project is located here. The connection is the wider peripheral growth of Bangalore through STRR, industrial zones, new job hubs and large residential projects.

Latest News and Updates of Hoskote - September 2026

Hoskote has had several useful 2026 updates. On 20 August 2026, police introduced a post-6 AM serving rule for Hoskote's early-morning biryani outlets because of traffic and parking concerns.

On 29 August 2026, reports showed DHL Supply Chain taking about 2.4 lakh sq ft of warehouse space in Ekarajapura, Hoskote taluk. This gives current evidence of logistics demand in the corridor.

A further infrastructure update came in September 2026, when the central government issued a user-fee notification covering the NH 648 route toward Hoskote as part of the wider Bengaluru peripheral highway network.

These updates are more useful than simply saying “Hoskote is developing.” They show changes in transport, logistics and local commercial activity with clear dates.
