Pride Tumkur Road Price and Rate per Sqft at Nagasandra

No cost sheet has been issued for Pride Tumkur Road. There is no rate card, no per-square-foot figure the developer stands behind and no price list for the apartments at Doddabidarakallu, Nagasandra. What circulates ahead of launch is a three-rung ladder — Rs 1.15 Cr for a 2 BHK, Rs 1.65 Cr for a 3 BHK, Rs 2.30 Cr for a 4 BHK — with no sizes attached. This page decodes that ladder, builds an independent rate estimate from Nagasandra and Tumkur Road property rates with the arithmetic shown at every step, sets it against named corridor comparables, and works out what a flat here would actually cost once statutory charges are added. Every rupee figure below is either a published market rate, a statutory rate, or an estimate that says so. When the budget line starts driving the decision, Purva Attibele keeps the discussion inside the same Bengaluru market, where final cost, payment timing, and exclusions matter more than headline rate.

The ladder decodes to one rate, and that tells you something

Divide each circulating price by Rs 10,000 per sqft:

  • Rs 1,15,00,000 ÷ 10,000 = 1,150 sqft
  • Rs 1,65,00,000 ÷ 10,000 = 1,650 sqft
  • Rs 2,30,00,000 ÷ 10,000 = 2,300 sqft

Three exact round numbers with zero remainder. The ratio 1.15 : 1.65 : 2.30 reduces to 1 : 1.4348 : 2.000. These are not three independently costed tiers; they are one flat rate multiplied by three round sizes. A genuine cost sheet almost never looks like this, because real rate cards differ by configuration, by floor, by facing and by tower, and real unit areas land on numbers like 1,143 or 1,676, not on multiples of fifty.

That has a second consequence worth stating plainly: at a flat rate, the rental yield is identical across all three configurations, and so is the cost per square foot of the four-bedroom and the two-bedroom. In a real project the larger format almost always carries a different rate. Treat Rs 10,000 as a stand-in that recovers the sizes usefully, and expect it to be replaced.

Yeshwanthpur, portal series11,150 / 12,500Square YardsRejected — see below

Three sources are rejected here, and the reasons are specific rather than general.

The Tumkur Road portal apartment rate is internally contradictory. Its quarterly series runs Rs 8,150 in September 2025, Rs 7,400 in December 2025, then Rs 11,850 in March 2026 — a Rs 4,450 jump in a single quarter, described on the same page as a consistent upward trajectory, which it plainly is not. Worse, the highest listing feeding that average belongs to a plotted township, so land rates are being averaged into an apartment figure. Knight Frank's independent read puts the entire locality band at Rs 5,300–10,200, which means the portal number sits above the ceiling for the whole locality. Knight Frank is used instead.

The Yeshwanthpur portal page carries −26.21% and +12.14% on the same screen, with a quarterly series running Rs 15,100, then Rs 11,150, then Rs 12,500. Knight Frank's Yeshwanthpur band is Rs 7,700–14,500 at a calm +9% / +6%. Again, the institutional read is used.

Anything a portal labels a "micromarket" series is discarded, because on these locality pages the micromarket series is injected from the parent locality — the Nagasandra page's micromarket series is byte-identical to the T Dasarahalli parent's, while Nagasandra's own locality rate is Rs 9,250.

The Rs 10,650 figure for Nagasandra is a different problem and gets one mention only. It is a basket that mixes apartments with independent villas, and the same number appears as a neighbouring locality's rate that another portal contradicts at Rs 6,300 — a 69% spread for one locality in one year. It is a mixed-basket second read, not an apartment rate, and nothing on this site is derived from it.

Five ways to derive the rate, with the working

Each method is independent. None of them is the developer's price.

Method A — where the ladder sits between the two branded reference points on the node. Pride's own registered project further along this road asks from Rs 1.24 Cr on a 1,414 sqft three-bedroom, which is Rs 8,769 per sqft. Brigade Lumina, one kilometre away, asks from Rs 1.45 Cr on a 1,099 sqft home, which is Rs 13,194 per sqft. The circulating Rs 10,000 sits (10,000 − 8,769) ÷ (13,194 − 8,769) = 27.8% of the way from the cheaper anchor to the dearer one. Bracket: Rs 8,769 – 13,194.

Method B — upper quartile of the institutional corridor band. Knight Frank puts Tumkur Road at Rs 5,300–10,200 for H1 2026. A new Grade-A high-rise prices in the upper part of a locality band, not the middle. At the 75th percentile: 5,300 + 0.75 × 4,900 = Rs 8,975. At the 90th: 5,300 + 0.90 × 4,900 = Rs 9,710. For reference, Rs 10,000 sits at the 96th percentile of that band: (10,000 − 5,300) ÷ 4,900 = 95.9%. Range: Rs 8,975 – 9,710.

Method C — read-across from the developer's own current asking rate on this road. Rs 8,769 per sqft, from the developer's own live project page. This scheme, as described, is larger, multi-tower, podium-based and closer to the station, so it should carry a step over that: at +10%, 8,769 × 1.10 = Rs 9,646; at +20%, 8,769 × 1.20 = Rs 10,523. Range: Rs 9,646 – 10,523.

Method D — guidance-value uplift. The government registration (guidance) rate for the West Bengaluru zone in June 2026 is Rs 4,900 per sqft, and Rs 4,850 for the adjacent industrial locality. Citywide, asking price runs at 12,100 ÷ 5,950 = 2.034× guidance. Applying that multiple: 4,900 × 2.034 = Rs 9,965; 4,850 × 2.034 = Rs 9,863. Range: Rs 9,863 – 9,965. Worth noting as a cross-check: the circulating Rs 10,000 against the West zone's Rs 4,900 guidance is a multiple of 2.041, which is almost exactly the citywide 2.034 — so on this measure the ladder is city-normal rather than aggressive.

Method E — a listed developer's own underwriting on this exact road. Brigade Enterprises' July 2024 joint-development agreement on Tumkur Road carried roughly 1.2 million sqft with a stated gross development value of about Rs 1,100 crore, which is 1,100,00,00,000 ÷ 12,00,000 = Rs 9,167 per sqft. That is a real number a listed company underwrote on this stretch, though it is dated mid-2024. Knight Frank records +16% over the 12 months to H1 2026; applying one year of that gives 9,167 × 1.16 = Rs 10,634. Applying it for both intervening years would be compounding a growth rate we only observe for one of them, so this method supports a range rather than a point. Range: Rs 9,167 – 10,634.

MethodRange (Rs/sqft)Midpoint
B — upper quartile of the Knight Frank corridor band8,975 – 9,7109,342
C — read-across from the developer's own rate on this road9,646 – 10,52310,084
D — guidance-value uplift at the citywide multiple9,863 – 9,9659,916
E — listed-developer underwriting on this road, inflated one year9,167 – 10,6349,900
Mean of the four midpoints9,811

The four methods average Rs 9,811 per sqft, which is 1.9% below the ladder's own implied Rs 10,000 and sits inside the independently defensible band for this node of Rs 9,250 – 10,200 per sqft. Method A is deliberately excluded from the average because it is a bracket rather than an estimate.

That is a reassuring result and it should not be over-read. It says the circulating prices are plausible for this corridor. It says nothing whatsoever about whether the project exists as described, whether the unit sizes are right, or whether a cost sheet will eventually carry these numbers.

Against those, the implied Rs 10,000 is:

  • +8.1% on the Nagasandra apartment rate of Rs 9,250
  • +14.0% on the developer's own current entry rate of Rs 8,769 on this road
  • within 2% of the ceiling of Knight Frank's Rs 5,300–10,200 Tumkur Road band
  • 24.2% below Brigade Lumina at Rs 13,194, one kilometre away
  • 39.3% below Godrej Tiara at Rs 16,462

Read that as a whole and the position is specific: premium against resale and older stock on this stretch, a clear discount against the branded new-launch benchmark. It is not the top of this market and it is not close to it. Any description of this scheme as signature luxury sits uncomfortably against a rate roughly a quarter under the nearest branded launch, and a buyer should treat the mismatch as a question rather than a bargain — either the prices are introductory teasers that will move, or the positioning is overstated.

What a flat actually costs: the full acquisition stack

The agreement value is not the cheque. Karnataka doubled the registration fee from 1% to 2% with effect from 31 August 2025, the first revision since 2003, which moved the statutory load up by a full percentage point.

Statutory rates — these are fixed by law and are not the developer's to set:

ComponentRateBasis
Stamp duty, property above Rs 45 lakh5%of consideration or guidance value, whichever is higher
Cess10% of the duty = 0.5% of valueon duty

GST, completed unit with occupancy certificateNil
Khata / e-Khata mutation2% of the stamp dutyon duty
TDS under section 194-IA1% of considerationdeducted by the buyer, not an extra cost

One practical note on stamp duty. It is charged on the higher of the consideration and the guidance value. The West Bengaluru zone guidance rate is Rs 4,900 per sqft against an indicative asking rate near Rs 10,000, so duty here would be assessed on the agreement value, not on guidance. That also means any suggestion of registering at guidance value to save duty does not arise, and should be refused if it is ever offered.

Worked examples at the circulating prices. Legal and documentation is taken at a flat Rs 50,000, which is market practice, not a quoted fee.

Add-on as % of agreement value13.13%13.00%12.92%

Budget roughly 13% over the agreement value on this ladder, and understand that the figure is a floor, because it contains none of the project-specific charges below.

The charges nobody has published yet

Every item in this section is a project-specific charge that the developer sets and has not disclosed. The benchmarks are market practice for Bengaluru high-rise stock, offered so you can budget — none of them is this project's figure.

  • Floor rise. This is the biggest unpublished variable in a 32-upper-floor tower, and it is routinely underestimated. Bengaluru floor-rise charges commonly run Rs 25–75 per sqft per floor above a base level, sometimes capped, sometimes not. Over 27 floors that is Rs 675 to Rs 2,025 per sqft. On a 1,650 sqft three-bedroom, a high-floor unit could therefore carry Rs 11.1 lakh to Rs 33.4 lakh of floor rise alone — on a Rs 1.65 Cr base, that is between 7% and 20%. Ask for the floor-rise table before you fall in love with a view.
  • Car parking. Typically Rs 3–6 lakh a covered bay in this segment, sometimes bundled into the base price. The three basements described here would give an estimated 1,320 bays against 693 homes, about 1.9 per home, which is comfortably above the 1.2–1.5 Bengaluru norm — so a second bay may well be available, but its price is unknown.
  • Clubhouse contribution. Often Rs 1.5–3 lakh, one-time.
  • Corpus / sinking fund. Market practice is Rs 100–200 per sqft. At Rs 150 that is Rs 1.73 lakh on the two-bedroom, Rs 2.48 lakh on the three, Rs 3.45 lakh on the four.
  • Advance maintenance. Usually 12 to 24 months collected upfront, at Rs 4–6 per sqft per month plus 18% GST. Twelve months at Rs 5 on a 1,650 sqft home is about Rs 1.17 lakh including GST.
  • Infrastructure, water and electricity connection, generator backup, piped gas, STP charges. All separately levied on most Bengaluru cost sheets, all unpublished here.
  • Preferential location charges for corner, park-facing or low-density floors.

Corpus plus twelve months of maintenance alone adds roughly Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 5.1 lakh across the three configurations at the benchmarks above. Add a mid-range floor rise and the real all-in cost of a high-floor three-bedroom moves well past Rs 2 crore, from a headline of Rs 1.65 Cr. That gap is the single most common surprise in a Bengaluru high-rise purchase.

Payment plans, and what registration changes

No payment schedule has been published for this project, so what follows is the norm and the law, not this scheme's terms.

Bengaluru construction-linked plans typically take around 10% at booking, another 10–20% at agreement, and the balance against slab progress, with a final 5% at handover. Two structural features of this particular scheme deserve attention if a plan is ever offered. Three basements take a long time and are invisible from the road — a plan that front-loads a large tranche on "completion of basements" can move a quarter of the money before any superstructure exists. And a 33-level stack generates a long tail of slab milestones, so the schedule's shape matters more than its headline.

The legal position while the project is unregistered is the part that matters most:

  • Section 3 bars the promoter from advertising, marketing, booking, selling or offering for sale any apartment in an unregistered project. An unregistered project cannot lawfully take a booking at all.
  • Section 13(1) bars a promoter from accepting more than 10% of the cost of the apartment as an advance without first entering into a written agreement for sale, which must then be registered.
  • Section 4(2)(l)(D) requires 70% of collections to sit in a separate designated account and be drawn only against certified construction progress. That protection attaches on registration. Before registration, money paid has no such statutory mechanism governing how it is deployed.

The practical translation: any "expression of interest", "pre-launch booking amount" or "priority allotment cheque" collected now sits outside the escrow discipline that makes a RERA-registered purchase safe, and no completion date is enforceable, because registration is what makes a completion date binding on a promoter. If you are asked for money before a registration number exists, that is the moment to stop and ask why.

Funding it — an illustration, with the assumptions stated

Under the Reserve Bank's loan-to-value ceilings, a property above Rs 75 lakh is capped at 75% LTV, so a quarter of the agreement value is cash from the outset, and lenders do not fund stamp duty, registration or GST.

The interest rate below is an assumption, not a quote and not a published rate. It is set at a round 8.5% purely to make the arithmetic legible; your sanction will differ.

Agreement valueMaximum sanction at 75%Down paymentEMI, 8.5%, 20 yearsEMI, 8.5%, 25 years
Rs 1.15 CrRs 86,25,000Rs 28,75,000Rs 74,850Rs 69,451
Rs 1.65 CrRs 1,23,75,000Rs 41,25,000Rs 1,07,393Rs 99,647
Rs 2.30 CrRs 1,72,50,000Rs 57,50,000Rs 1,49,700Rs 1,38,902

Add the statutory stack to the down payment and the cash requirement at the door is Rs 43.9 lakh on the two-bedroom, Rs 62.7 lakh on the three and Rs 87.2 lakh on the four — about 38% of the agreement value in every case, before a rupee of floor rise, parking or corpus. That is the number to plan around, not the down payment.

One more note specific to an unregistered project: most lenders will not sanction a home loan against a project without a RERA registration and an approved-project listing. Pre-launch money is usually own funds.

Rental yield, derived

No published rental yield exists for Nagasandra, Peenya or Tumkur Road. The nearest published rate is Rs 29 per sqft per month, which two adjacent localities on this belt both carry. Applying it:

  • 1,650 sqft × Rs 29 = Rs 47,850 a month, or Rs 5,74,200 a year
  • Against a Rs 1.65 Cr agreement value: 3.48% gross
  • Against the Rs 1.86 Cr all-in cost: 3.08% gross

Because the ladder is one flat rate, that percentage is identical for all three configurations. A published absolute cross-checks it: a three-bedroom on the adjacent industrial locality lets at about Rs 45,000 a month, which on 1,650 sqft is Rs 27.3 per sqft per month and a 3.27% gross yield.

One more denominator matters, and it is the reason a single yield number would mislead. The 3.48% above is computed against the circulating Rs 10,000 per sqft. Run the same Rs 29 against Nagasandra's own locality rate of Rs 9,250 per sqft and it reads 29 × 12 ÷ 9,250 = 3.76%. Both are correct; they simply price two different entry points. Published yields on either side bracket that read sensibly — Jalahalli at 4.07% and Yeshwanthpur at 3.12%. So call the corridor 3.5% to 3.8% gross on the purchase price, with the low end being what the circulating pre-launch rate produces and the high end what the locality rate produces, and about 3.1% on the all-in cost once stamp duty, registration and GST are carried — an estimate, not a published figure, and before maintenance, vacancy, income tax and the property's own share of common charges. Net yield will be materially lower, and an unregistered pre-launch produces no rent at all until handover.

The absorption question, which is unusual here

Knight Frank's H1 2026 numbers make West Bengaluru the tightest residential zone in the city: unsold inventory of 2,291 units and quarters-to-sell of 3.2, against 7.4 in the South and 4.9 in the East. That is a genuinely favourable backdrop for a seller.

It also frames the scale of what is proposed. 693 homes is 30.2% of West Bengaluru's entire unsold pool (693 ÷ 2,291). A single launch adding nearly a third to a zone's standing inventory is a large event in a small pool, and it would test the pricing more than the corridor's headline tightness suggests. Two readings are legitimate and a buyer should hold both: the zone absorbs quickly, and a launch of this size into a pool this small has no local precedent to price against.

For context on the ticket, Knight Frank places the Rs 1–2 crore band at 28% of Bengaluru's unsold stock with a quarters-to-sell of 3.4, and it was 48% of all H1 2026 launches — the better-absorbing of the two large pools. All three of this ladder's rungs except the four-bedroom fall inside it.

What a buyer cannot yet know

This is the honest list, and it is longer than the list of things that are settled.

  • The price. Nothing above is the developer's figure. The ladder is unconfirmed information in circulation and decodes to a single assumed rate.
  • The unit sizes, which means the ticket for any specific apartment is unknown even if the rate is right.
  • The carpet areas, which are the only areas a registered agreement can be signed against.
  • Every project-specific charge — floor rise, parking, clubhouse, corpus, maintenance, preferential location, infrastructure and connection charges. On a 32-storey tower, floor rise alone can be a double-digit percentage of the base.
  • The payment schedule, and therefore how much money moves before anything is built.
  • The land extent and the survey number. The land area is not published anywhere; the figure used across this site, approximately 3.8 acres, is our own back-calculation from the unit count and the FAR headline, with an honest band of 3.5 to 4.7 acres.
  • Whether premium FAR has actually been purchased and TDR loaded. FAR 5.19 is the maximum permissible under the February 2025 premium FAR policy, not an entitlement anyone holds — and premium FAR is bought at roughly 28% of guidance value, which is a real cost that has to be earned back in the price.
  • Whether an AAI height clearance exists for a stated 98.35 m tower, with four aerodromes inside the notified radii.
  • The completion date, which cannot be enforceable while the project is unregistered.
  • The RERA registration number. A full parse of the Karnataka RERA project registry current to 17 August 2026 returns no registration for this project under any Pride-family promoter entity, and the developer's own Bengaluru portfolio does not list it. That is consistent with a genuine pre-launch. It also means nothing about the project can be independently verified.

What to verify before any money moves

Ask for the K-RERA registration number and check it yourself at rera.karnataka.gov.in — a project registration reads PRM/KA/RERA/.../PR/..., and a number containing /AG/ is an agent registration, not a project registration. Ask for the cost sheet with the rate, the area, the floor-rise table and every extra listed as a line item rather than as "as applicable". Ask for the sanctioned plan, the land extent in the schedule to the agreement, and the survey numbers. Ask whether the water supply is piped municipal supply with no borewell dependence, and get the answer in writing. And treat any request for money before a registration number exists as the question it is, not as an opportunity.

Pride Tumkur Road Pricing – Frequently Asked Questions

What would a 2 BHK and a 3 BHK cost here?

No cost sheet has been issued. The figures circulating ahead of launch are Rs 1.15 Cr for a 2 BHK, Rs 1.65 Cr for a 3 BHK and Rs 2.30 Cr for a 4 BHK. Divide each by Rs 10,000 per sqft and you get 1,150, 1,650 and 2,300 sqft exactly, with no remainder — which tells you these are one flat rate applied to three round sizes rather than three independently costed tiers. Set against the market, that Rs 10,000 is 8.1 per cent above the Nagasandra locality rate, 14.0 per cent above Pride's own Altius entry rate on this road, within 2 per cent of the top of Knight Frank's Tumkur Road band, and about 24 per cent below Brigade Lumina at roughly Rs 13,194 per sqft a kilometre away. Whatever the eventual sheet says, budget separately for stamp duty, registration and GST where applicable, plus floor-rise, car-park, club and maintenance-corpus charges — none of which sits inside a headline ticket.

How does this compare with Brigade Lumina, Godrej Tiara and Prestige Jindal City?

Those three set the reference points on this road, and all three are registered and checkable:

Both registration numbers in that table were pulled and read as digitally signed K-RERA certificates from rera.karnataka.gov.in rather than copied from an aggregator, because a wrong registration number attached to the wrong project is the most damaging error a page like this can make. PRM/KA/RERA/1251/309/PR/230326/008545 reads Brigade Lumina, promoter Brigade Enterprises Ltd, at Survey Nos. 38/2A, 38/2B and 46/2, Chikkabidarakallu village, Dasanapura hobli, with a proposed completion of 31-12-2030. PRM/KA/RERA/1251/309/PR/110625/007817 reads Godrej Tiara, promoter Godrej Properties Limited, at Municipal No. 8/9, CTS Nos. 473 and 474, Tumkur Main Road, Ward 38, with a project approval date of 11-06-2025 and a proposed completion of 31-05-2030. Neither number has anything to do with Pride Tumkur Road, which has no registration at all.

Three readings follow. On price, the scheme described here would undercut the nearest branded new launch by about a quarter while describing itself in premium terms — that tension is real and unresolved. On density, an estimated 182 homes per acre is 1.74 times Brigade Lumina and 2.63 times Godrej Tiara. On scale, no "largest on this stretch" claim survives Prestige Jindal City's 3,571 homes; the only defensible version is narrower — the largest of the current new-launch crop on the Nagasandra node — and even that rests on unconfirmed figures.

What does "pre-launch" actually mean, and how is it different from a soft launch?

Pre-launch means the stage before both registration and a formal public release: no sanctioned plan on record, no rate card the developer stands behind, no enforceable completion date, and typically no identifiable parcel in the public domain. A soft launch is a narrower thing — a limited, often invitation-only release of inventory that in a well-run project comes after registration, with a real price list and a real agreement behind it. The two get used interchangeably in marketing, which is why the label is worth ignoring in favour of a test. The test is one question: what is the registration number? If there is not one, you are at pre-launch whatever the material calls it.

Can a builder take a booking, or an EOI cheque, before registration?

Section 3 prohibits advertising, marketing, booking, selling or offering for sale an unregistered project of this class, and no agreement for sale can be executed. An "expression of interest" is often positioned as something outside that — a refundable pre-booking that reserves a place in a queue rather than a home. Treat it as money at risk with no RERA-backed instrument behind it: there is no registered project to attach it to, no sanctioned plan to describe what you would be buying, and no authority-supervised escrow. If you decide to put anything down anyway, get the terms in writing — refundable, unconditional, with a named refund window — and keep the receipt against the entity name, not the brand.

Has a Pride Tumkur Road launch date been announced?

No. As of 18 August 2026 there is no announced launch date, no dated expression-of-interest window and no cost-sheet release date on record. It helps to separate two things that get spoken of as one. A "launch" is a marketing event the developer controls; registration is a legal act the authority grants, and under Section 3 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act 2016 a project of this class cannot lawfully be advertised, marketed, booked or sold until it happens. Registration itself cannot precede a sanctioned plan, the premium FAR purchase, the TDR loading and an airport height clearance, none of which is on record — which puts the earliest credible registration in the second half of 2027. Any "launching this month" claim you meet before then is a marketing statement, not a status.
