TATA Varnam

TATA Varnam location is on the Chikkajala-Shettigere Road at Yerthiganahalli in Devanahalli, North Bangalore, inside the Tata Carnatica township. The township lies in the belt between the airport and Bellary Road that has drawn most of the large launches in the north of the city, and Varnam is its residential core.

Kempegowda International Airport is about 6 km away, which makes the project one of the closest large residential communities to the terminals. NH-44, the national highway that runs north from the city past the airport, is about 1 km away, and Bellary Road, the older approach from the city, about 3.5 km. Devanahalli Railway Station is about 7 km away.

Distances published on listings

• Kempegowda International Airport: about 6 km
• NH-44: about 1 km
• Bellary Road: about 3.5 km
• Devanahalli Railway Station: about 7 km

This is a location for frequent flyers, airline and airport staff, and buyers who work in the business parks growing up around the airport. It is a long drive from the older city centre and the southern and eastern IT hubs, so buyers who commute there should time the journey. No developer page for the project could be found, and the pincode is given as 562157 on most listings and 562110 on some, so confirm the exact address with Tata Housing.

TATA Varnam Floor Plans span three home types, apartments, townhouses and row houses, in sizes from about 1,380 to 4,131 sq ft according to listings. The developer has not published the plans, so the areas below come from listings; whether they are saleable or carpet areas is not stated, and you should ask for both figures on the cost sheet.

• 2 BHK apartment: about 1,380 sq ft
• 3 BHK apartment: about 1,681 sq ft
• 3 BHK apartment, larger plan: about 2,061 sq ft
• 3 BHK townhouse: about 2,800 sq ft
• 5 BHK row house: about 3,650 sq ft
• 5 BHK apartment: about 4,131 sq ft

The 2 BHK and the smaller 3 BHK are conventional tower apartments for families who want the airport location without a large outlay. The 2,061 sq ft 3 BHK and the 5 BHK apartment are wide, premium plans. The townhouse and row house give a private entrance and, usually, a small garden or terrace, at prices that overlap with villas elsewhere in the north.

Listings are not consistent on whether the 2,800 sq ft 3 BHK is a townhouse or a villa, so ask the sales team what it is and whether it shares walls with its neighbours. The specification quoted on listings is an RCC frame, vitrified tile flooring in the living areas and bedrooms and oil-bound distemper on the walls. Ask for the developer's own specification sheet before booking. Use the Download Brochure button for the plans as the developer releases them.

TATA Varnam Master Plan is a phase within a much larger township. Tata Carnatica covers about 135 to 142 acres, and Varnam's Phase 1 takes about 70 acres of it, split into four RERA parcels, 1A to 1D. Listings describe a low-density plan of roughly 12 homes per acre that mixes apartment towers with townhouses and row houses, which is unusual for a Bangalore township of this size.

The plans available from listings show the apartment towers, four of them in Phase 1B, grouped together. The townhouses and row houses are laid out on their own streets, with the clubhouse and sports areas between them. The unit count is disputed: listings say 842 while brokers quote about 2,200 across the phase, so ask for the sanctioned plan for each parcel.

Master plan highlights

• Phase 1: about 70 acres inside a 135 to 142 acre township
• Four RERA parcels, 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D
• Four apartment towers in Phase 1B
• Townhouses and row houses on separate streets
• Clubhouse with a mini theatre, party hall and cafe
• Swimming pool, tennis and badminton courts, amphitheatre and yoga areas
• Pet area and 24x7 security with CCTV

Because the township will be built over many years, ask which parcel your home is in and what its committed completion date is. Ask also which amenities belong to that parcel, which are shared across the township, and how the common infrastructure will be maintained.

TATA Varnam Amenities are as planned by the developer and reported on listings; no developer page could be found to confirm the final list. They are the standard set for a large township clubhouse, with outdoor sports spread across the low-density grounds. Listings do not give sizes for the clubhouse or the pool, so ask for those.

Pools and fitness

• Swimming pool
• Kids' pool
• Gymnasium
• Yoga areas

Sports

• Badminton courts
• Tennis courts
• Indoor games

Clubhouse and social

• Clubhouse
• Mini theatre
• Party hall
• Amphitheatre
• Cafe

Safety

• 24x7 security with CCTV

In a township built over many years, the timing matters as much as the list. Ask which amenities are delivered with Phase 1 and which come with later phases, whether the clubhouse is shared with the rest of Tata Carnatica, and what the monthly maintenance charge will be. Confirm the final schedule of amenities in the agreement for sale.
