Old Madras Road

Old Madras Road is the Bengaluru stretch of National Highway 75. It starts near the city centre and runs east through KR Puram and Bhattarahalli. From there it passes Medahalli, Avalahalli and Budigere Cross before reaching Hoskote. Beyond Hoskote, the highway continues east towards Kolar.

For decades, this road carried trucks and buses out of the city towards Chennai. Today, it is also home to thousands of families who work in Whitefield and KR Puram. Large townships, schools and hospitals now line both sides of the highway.

Three things make Old Madras Road a strong address in 2026. First, it gives you direct access to both the city and the eastern highway network. Second, land here costs less than in the Whitefield core, so developers can plan bigger and greener projects.

Third, a long list of road and metro works now targets this corridor. A metro line from KR Puram to Hoskote is in planning. The Satellite Town Ring Road already reaches Hoskote. When these links come together, travel times along the corridor should drop sharply.

Brigade Group has trusted this corridor for years. Its projects in this belt include Brigade Exotica and Brigade Lakecrest beside Bhattarahalli Lake. Brigade Belvedere on Budigere Main Road joined the list in 2026. Brigade Autograph adds a large mixed-use township to this list.

Brigade Autograph faces Whitefield-Kadugodi Road, a link road that joins Old Madras Road with Kadugodi and Whitefield. The highway lies only 750 metres from the project gate. This short gap keeps highway noise away from your home while keeping the road close for daily drives.

From the project, you can head west on Old Madras Road towards KR Puram and the city. You can also head east towards Budigere Cross, Hoskote and the airport route. Kempegowda International Airport is 27.8 km away when you drive through Budigere Cross.

The Konadasapura bus stop is just 1 km away, and VIBGYOR High School sits opposite the site. So daily school runs and bus trips stay short, even on busy weekdays. Families with one car find this layout easier to manage than a home deep inside a layout. ITPL is 9.9 km away, and Whitefield (Kadugodi) Metro Station is 6.2 km from the township.

The corridor has several major works at different stages. This table shows what each project covers and where it stands in November 2026.

The proposed metro stations include TC Palya, Bhattarahalli, Medahalli Junction, Avalahalli, Budigere Cross and Katamnallur Gate. If the line goes ahead, homes near Budigere Cross and Konadasapura would gain a second metro option. For now, you should treat it as a future plan and not count on a fixed date.

Brigade Autograph offers four home types, all measured in SBA. Here is a simple view of the starting prices.

• A 1 BHK of 600 to 700 sq.ft. starts at ₹1 Crore.
• A 2 BHK of 1,000 to 1,300 sq.ft. starts at ₹1.40 Crore.
• A 3 BHK of 1,400 to 2,200 sq.ft. starts at ₹2 Crore.
• A 4 BHK of 2,500 to 2,800 sq.ft. starts at ₹3.50 Crore.

Out of 2,299 total units, 1,898 are homes. The township also holds 68 retail shops, 86 office units and a 247-key hotel. This mix means you depend less on the highway for daily errands and short work trips.

A highway address only works if the home itself feels calm. Brigade Autograph keeps about 80% of its land open, with landscaped gardens and water features. The towers stand back from the main road, and the gardens act as a green buffer.

The grand clubhouse holds a multipurpose hall, a banquet hall and a mini theatre. It also has a library and a co-working lounge. You also get tennis, badminton and squash courts, a swimming pool, a jogging track and a cycling track. Families can spend weekends inside the township instead of driving across the city.

The towers use an RCC frame with shear wall technology and an earthquake-resistant design. For a 48-floor building near a busy road, this build quality gives you peace of mind.

High floors also help in a highway location. Upper-floor homes sit well above the traffic, so they get more breeze and less dust. They also give you wide views over the Whitefield and Hoskote belt. If you prefer a calm home, ask for a unit that faces the inner gardens. These homes stay quieter through the day and night.

Many buyers compare Old Madras Road with the Whitefield core before they decide. Whitefield gives you a shorter drive to ITPL and the main tech parks. Old Madras Road gives you larger townships, more open space and better highway access towards Hoskote.

Brigade Autograph sits between both, so you do not have to pick one side fully. You get Whitefield's job market within 10 km and the highway within a short walk. For investors, this middle position leaves room for price growth as metro and ring road plans advance.

A launch-stage project gives you choice, but it also asks you to do some homework. These simple checks help you pick the right home at Brigade Autograph.

• Drive from the site to your office at 9 am on a weekday, not on a quiet Sunday.
• Check the RERA filing on the Karnataka RERA portal and match it with the brochure details.
• Ask which tower and floor face the gardens, since these homes stay quieter than road-facing units.
• Compare the payment plan with your cash flow up to the 2032 possession date.
• Read the latest metro news, but base your decision on roads and links that already work.
