Which Part of Bangalore Is Hoskote?

Hoskote is well-located in the eastern part of Bangalore, forming part of Bengaluru Rural district, about 27 km from the city centre. It lies along NH 75, also called Old Madras Road, connecting to Whitefield and KR Puram. This eastern belt has grown into one of Bangalore's fastest-developing industrial and residential corridors.

One of the top projects in this growth belt is Prestige Park Lane, a pre-launch mixed-use development by Prestige Group. It is at KIADB Phase 2, Devanahalli, directly linked to Hoskote via the STRR. It is spread across 32.26 acres and has an on-site business park.

Commuting Options From Hoskote

Hoskote's connectivity has improved sharply in recent years, thanks to new expressway links.

By Road

Hoskote is bisected by NH 75 (Old Madras Road), which links it to KR Puram and central Bangalore. The STRR (NH 648) also traverses this location. In March 2024, the 80-km Dabaspet–Hoskote ring road was opened. The ring road connects Hoskote to Devanahalli, roughly 27 km away and a 40-minute drive.

By Rail

Hoskote is approximately 13 km from Whitefield Railway Station, the nearest major railway station. The station is on the KSR Bengaluru line and other regional lines, but most people still depend on the roadways for commuting.

By Bus

BMTC runs a full schedule of services from Hoskote to Majestic and other parts of the city through Old Madras Road. City bus fares are generally between ₹20 and ₹50 depending on the distance travelled.

By Metro

Hoskote does not have a metro station at present. The nearest metro station is KR Puram Metro Station on the Purple Line, which is about 15 km away by road.

The Purple Line is expected to be extended by 16 km from KR Puram to Hoskote. The project is still in the planning stages, and no timeline has been set for its construction.

By Cab

App-based cabs from Hoskote to central Bangalore cost between ₹500 and ₹700, depending on traffic and demand. The ride to the airport via the STRR falls in the same price range, thanks to better road connectivity.

By Air

The distance from Kempegowda International Airport to Hoskote is 28 to 29 km. The route via the STRR avoids the heavy traffic of the older roads through central Bangalore, and the drive takes about 40 to 45 minutes.

Property Market in Hoskote

Hoskote's real estate has grown quickly, driven by its expressway connectivity and relative affordability.

Current Rates and Rental Yield

Branded apartments in Hoskote cost some ₹7,100 to ₹7,700 per sq ft as of 2026. The price for plotted land varies from ₹1,800 to ₹5,200 per sq ft based on location and whether it has been approved or not.

The average rental yield in this corridor is around 3%, with 2 BHKs renting for ₹11,000 to ₹12,500 per month.

Why the Market Is Booming

The development of Hoskote is attributed to its closeness to Whitefield and KR Puram. These two large IT hubs employ a substantial workforce, but housing close to them carries a high price. The STRR has slashed travel time and made this belt accessible to buyers who earlier considered it too far out.

Industrial demand along the Hoskote–Malur Road corridor adds a second engine. Demand for industrial and warehousing space there runs independently of residential demand growth.

Why Buyers Should Consider This Corridor

Hoskote offers a genuinely lower cost of entry than Whitefield, where rates range from ₹13,800 to ₹16,000 per sq ft. For a fraction of the price, buyers get access to the same job hubs, and values have appreciated by 24 to 34% in just the last year.

The affordability and the improving infrastructure are what make Hoskote an appealing proposition for long-term investors.
