How much do Bengaluru’s pothole repairs cost?
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar announced that ₹750 crore has been allocated to fix Bengaluru’s potholes, but experts says actual cost of repairs should be significantly lower, noting that resurfacing with quality materials should cost between ₹30 lakh and ₹50 lakh per kilometre, estimating that even topping all 1,600 km of city’s arterial roads would not exceed ₹800 crore.
