📍 About this Locality

Peenya is Bengaluru's largest industrial district, one of the most significant industrial estates in South Bharat housing hundreds of manufacturing units producing machine tools, textiles, electronics components, garments and engineering goods. The Peenya Industrial Estate, developed from the 1970s onward by the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board, provides employment to lakhs of workers and serves as the manufacturing backbone of a city more often associated with software than with making physical goods. The industrial character of Peenya contrasts sharply with Bengaluru's technology district image, representing the other side of the city's economy.
