Bangalore is the capital of the Indian state of Karnataka. It has a population of about 8.42 million and a metropolitan population of about 8.52 million, making it the third most populous city and fifth
most populous urban agglomeration in India.
Bangalore is sometimes referred to as the "Silicon Valley of India" (or "IT capital of India") because of
its role as the nation's leading information
technology (IT) exporter. Indian
technological organisations ISRO, Infosys, Wipro and HAL are headquartered in the city. A demographically diverse
city, Bangalore is the second fastest-growing major metropolis in India. It is home to many educational and
research institutions in India, such as Indian
Institute of Science (IISc) and Indian Institute of Management
(Bangalore) (IIMB). The city also houses the Kannada film industry.
ECONOMY:
Recent estimates of the
economy of Bangalore's metropolitan area have ranged from $45 to $83 billion (PPP GDP), and have ranked it from third- to fifth-most productive
metro area of India. Forbes considers
Bangalore one of "The Next Decade's Fastest-Growing Cities". The
headquarters of several public
sector undertakings such as Bharat
Electronics Limited (BEL), Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) etc., Bangalore also houses several research and development
centres for many firms such as ABB, Airbus, Bosch, Boeing, GE, GM, Google,
Microsoft, Mercedes-Benz, Nokia, Oracle, Philips, Shell, Toyota and Tyco. The
encouragement of high-tech industry in Bangalore, for example, has not favoured
local employment development, but has instead increased land values and forced
out small enterprise.

RAIL:
A rapid
transit system called the Namma Metro is built. It is expected to
connect central locations in Bangalore to the airport near Devanahalli as well as the Chikballapur regions. This much delayed project is the city's
primary response to the worsening city transport infrastructure which has
become a major deterrent to continued business growth.
