On 9 November 2026, Karnataka approved 147 investment projects worth ₹6,825.93 crore, expected to generate 18,600 jobs across the state. The approvals were granted by the State Level Single Window Clearance Committee (SLSWCC). Of the projects, 131 will be located outside Bengaluru Urban and Bengaluru Rural districts.

Project details and sectors

Thirty-six projects involving investments above ₹50 crore account for ₹4,507.71 crore and are expected to create 12,074 jobs. Another 108 new projects, each involving ₹15 crore to ₹50 crore, account for ₹2,238.37 crore and about 6,526 jobs. The committee also cleared ₹79.85 crore in additional proposals from three existing projects.

The projects cover food processing, textiles, data centres, semiconductors, Electronics System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM), IT parks, printed circuit board assembly, aerospace, sugar and general engineering. Among the approvals is Advaith Tech LLP’s proposed IT and IT-enabled services park at Devanahalli, with an investment of ₹380 crore and 500 expected jobs.

Important Facts for Exams

• Semiconductor doping: Semiconductor doping shifts a conduction or valence band closer to the Fermi level, increasing the number of partially filled states and boosting conductivity.
• PCB assembly versus fabrication: Printed-circuit-board assembly places electronic components onto a fabricated bare board; board fabrication instead creates its conductive tracks and layers.
• Data-centre energy metric: Power usage effectiveness (PUE) compares a data centre’s total facility energy with energy used by its information-technology equipment; a value nearer one indicates less overhead.
• Aerospace quality standard: AS9100 is an aerospace quality-management standard built on ISO 9001, adding sector-specific controls such as configuration management, traceability and product-safety requirements.
