Bengaluru Road Contracts
About The Project
A public record of who builds Bengaluru's roads — what was spent, by whom, ward by ward. What this is, why it exists, how it was built, and who's behind it.

What this is
A public record of who builds Bengaluru's roads. For every road, drain, and asphalting contract BBMP awarded in our data window, this site shows the work, the winning contractor's name, the winning bid, and how that bid compared to the government's own estimate — organised ward by ward, so you can look up the streets you actually live on.
Type your area name, or drop a pin on the map, and the site takes you to your ward's card.
The wards are the 225 BBMP wards of the 2023 final delimitation — the frame these contracts were actually filed under — with each card also naming which of the five new city corporations the ward now falls in. (Bengaluru's new 369-ward structure post-dates our data; see the FAQ, questions 3 and 4.)
Why it exists
Everything on this site is already public. Who won each contract, at what price, against what estimate — all of it is a matter of public record.
But that record is scattered across government portals, filed tender by tender, and nothing public assembles it the one way a resident would ask for it: my ward, every contract, the winner's name.
To make it harder still, the body that awarded these contracts — BBMP — was dissolved in September 2025 and replaced by the Greater Bengaluru Authority and five city corporations, so the institutional trail behind these records is itself in transition.
That is the gap this project fills: the award record — winner, bid, estimate — pinned to the ward you live in, preserved as a fixed snapshot of its period, and made readable.
How it was built
By joining public records. Contract records were collected from Karnataka's public procurement portal (KPPP).
Ward boundaries and the locality-to-ward schedule come from BBMP's 2023 delimitation, obtained via OpenCity's public-domain datasets. The mapping of old wards to the five new city corporations comes from the Greater Bengaluru Authority's September 2025 corporations map, also via OpenCity.
Where a contract's ward could be established from the record, it was placed; where it couldn't, it is shown as unplaced rather than guessed — a confident wrong answer is worse than an honest “unknown.”
Every source, link, download, and caveat is documented on the Data & Sources page; the specific limits of the data are in the FAQ.
Who's behind it
An independent, single-maintainer civic-transparency project — not affiliated with any government body, political party, contractor, or company.
The maintainer has chosen to stay anonymous; the work is offered on its verifiability, not on anyone's name.
Everything here is released into the public domain, and the site follows the same ethos it asks of the record: no logins, no tracking, nothing collected from you.
