HSR Layout Sectors 1 to 7

How many sectors does HSR Layout have?

HSR Layout has seven sectors, numbered 1 to 7. Sectors 1 and 2 sit on the eastern side and carry most of the commercial activity along 27th Main Road. Sectors 3 to 7 are quieter and predominantly residential.

HSR Layout is short for Hosur–Sarjapur Road Layout. It was laid out by the Bangalore Development Authority from 1985 in south-east Bengaluru, pin code 560102, on land associated with Agara Lake. Unlike most of Bengaluru, which grew organically, it was planned as a grid: main roads run north–south and cross roads run east–west, which is why addresses here read as a main-and-cross pair rather than a street name.

Where does each sector sit?

The seven sectors are not arranged in a simple 1-to-7 line. Read east to west: Sectors 1 and 2 are the eastern pair, Sectors 3 and 4 the middle pair, and Sectors 5, 6 and 7 the western group. Read north to south: Sector 5 is the northernmost sector centre and Sectors 2, 3 and 7 the southernmost.

Locality names come from OpenStreetMap's own addressing. Only some sectors carry an older village or colony name — Sector 3 has none attached, and MCHS Colony appears in both Sector 4 and Sector 6, so a colony name alone is not enough to identify a sector in an address.

The HSR Layout BDA Complex on 14th Main Road is in Sector 6, beside the McDonald's circle; our guide covers what is inside it, the airport bus and its planned redevelopment.

Which sector of HSR Layout is closest to the metro station?

Sectors 5 and 6 are closest to the HSR Layout metro station site, both about 0.3 km from their sector centre in a straight line, but that Blue Line station is not open yet. For a metro you can board today, Sectors 6 and 7 are best placed: Bommanahalli station on the Yellow Line, open since August 2025, is about 1.1 km on foot from the centre of Sector 6 and about 1.5 km from the centre of Sector 7.

This is the single biggest practical difference between the sectors, because HSR Layout is served by two future Blue Line stations rather than one, at opposite ends of the layout. Sectors 5 and 6 are the HSR Layout station's catchment; Sectors 1 and 4 are Agara station's. Until they open, what counts is the walk to the Yellow Line.

Which open metro station is nearest each sector?

Three Yellow Line stations near HSR Layout have been open since August 2025: Bommanahalli and Hongasandra on Hosur Road along the layout's south-western edge, and Central Silk Board to the north-west. On foot, Bommanahalli or Hongasandra is the nearest open station from every sector. Central Silk Board is the furthest walk from all seven, because reaching it means crossing the Silk Board junction.

"Walk" is the shortest walking route from the sector centre on OpenStreetMap, measured 4 October 2026; "line" is the straight-line distance. By car the order changes: Central Silk Board is the shorter drive from Sectors 1, 4 and 5 (4.0, 3.2 and 3.0 km by road) because of the one-way loops around Hosur Road. Sector 6 is the best-connected sector to a working metro either way, at about 2.1 km by road to both Bommanahalli and Central Silk Board.

How far is each sector from the future Blue Line stations and the landmarks?

Neither Blue Line station is open. Both are under construction as at August 2026, and BMRCL has said trial runs on the Phase 2A corridor begin in October 2026 — trial runs are systems testing, not passenger service. The full picture, with every published date attributed to whoever published it, is on our HSR Layout metro station guide. Until one of them opens, the metro you can actually board is the Yellow Line, and the open-station table above is the one that counts today.

Which sector of HSR Layout is the commercial one?

Sectors 1 and 2. Both are addressed along 27th Main Road, the north–south commercial road on the layout's eastern edge. Sector 1 holds its northern end near Agara and Sarjapur Road; Sector 2 holds its southern end near Parangipalya. Restaurants and cafés are more spread out than that: an OpenStreetMap count in September 2026 found twice as many places to eat and drink along 17th and 18th Cross Road, which cross the middle of the layout, as along 27th Main.

That is the split people mean when they say the layout has a "commercial side" and a "quiet side". It is worth being precise about what it does and does not mean. It does not mean Sectors 3 to 7 are without shops — a BDA layout puts local retail in every sector. It means the road most people picture when they think of HSR Layout's high street runs along the eastern edge, through two sectors.

Eating out is a different map. When we counted every restaurant, café, bar and fast-food place mapped inside the seven sectors, Sectors 3 and 4 came out densest per square kilometre, and the busiest food street was the 17th and 18th Cross pair through the middle of the layout, with 84 places against 42 on 27th Main. The full count, street by street and sector by sector, is in our guide to where to eat in HSR Layout.

Is there a big difference between the HSR Layout sectors?

Less than people expect in distance, more than people expect in character. No two sector centres in HSR Layout are more than 1.9 km apart, so everything in the layout is within a short drive of everything else. What genuinely differs is what each sector is within walking distance of — the commercial spine, a metro station site, or nothing but residential streets.

The 1.9 km figure is the widest gap in the layout, between the centres of Sector 2 and Sector 6. The whole grid spans roughly 1.9 km east to west and 1.0 km north to south between sector centres. For anyone choosing where to stay, the practical consequence is that picking a sector is a decision about walking, not about driving. If you will have a car or use a cab, the sector barely matters. If you want to walk to a metro station or to dinner, it decides everything.

What is in each HSR Layout sector?

Sector 1 is the largest HSR Layout sector at 2.24 km², a third of the layout's 6.7 km², and it has the most of almost everything mapped: 100 places to eat and drink, 19 supermarkets and grocers and 22 hospitals and clinics. Sectors 3 and 4 are the smallest, at about 0.5 km² each, yet each holds 35 places to eat and drink. Sector 5 has the fewest, at 10.

Counts are places mapped inside each sector's OpenStreetMap boundary: food and drink as of 14 September 2026, everything else as of 1 October 2026. OpenStreetMap misses places, especially small clinics and pre-schools, so read each figure as a minimum and compare sectors rather than trusting the absolute number. Area is calculated from the same boundaries. Every place in the table is on the interactive map above, where you can switch each category on and see what it is called.

Sector guides so far: HSR Layout Sector 1, the largest, around Agara and the north of 27th Main; HSR Layout Sector 2, the closest sector to Electronic City, about 6.1 km from its metro station; and HSR Layout Sector 7, the south-western sector around the McDonald's circle. If you are planning a stay rather than a move, see the 1 BHK and 2 BHK serviced apartments HSR Stay is building in Sector 7, what is within a short walk of its location, and the serviced apartments already listed in each sector.

If your stay is about a commute rather than a neighbourhood, the sector matters less than the road you leave on. Distances and routes from HSR Layout to Electronic City, Whitefield, Marathahalli, the Outer Ring Road tech parks and the airport are on our commuting guide.

What is the pin code of each HSR Layout sector?

Every HSR Layout sector has the same pin code, 560102 — the HSR Layout Sub Post Office, a delivery office in India Post's Bangalore South division. There is no separate pin code for Sector 1, Sector 7 or any other sector.

The post office behind it, the neighbouring pin codes and how to write an address are in our guide to the HSR Layout pin code.

Two other pin codes turn up on HSR Layout addresses, both left over from the villages the layout was built around. Neither is HSR Layout's own.

Post office details are from India Post's pincode directory, queried 1 October 2026. If you are sending post or a courier to any HSR Layout sector, 560102 is the safe choice.

Where is Agara Lake in HSR Layout?

Agara Lake sits on the northern edge of HSR Layout, between Sector 1 and Sector 4, at roughly 12.9202°N, 77.6418°E. Sector 4 is the closest sector centre to it at about 0.6 km in a straight line, followed by Sector 5 at about 0.8 km and Sector 1 at about 0.9 km.

The lake matters to the layout's history as well as its geography: HSR Layout was developed on land associated with Agara Lake, and the lake keeps a maintained walking and jogging track that is the neighbourhood's main outdoor space. The future Agara metro station takes its name from it and sits on the Outer Ring Road immediately north of it.

Common questions about HSR Layout's sectors

HSR Layout has seven sectors, numbered 1 to 7. Sectors 1 and 2 sit on the eastern side and carry most of the commercial activity along 27th Main Road. Sectors 3 to 7 are quieter and predominantly residential.

Sectors 5 and 6 are closest to the HSR Layout metro station site, both about 0.3 km from their sector centre in a straight line, but that Blue Line station is not open yet. For a metro you can board today, Sectors 6 and 7 are best placed: Bommanahalli station on the Yellow Line, open since August 2025, is about 1.1 km on foot from the centre of Sector 6 and about 1.5 km from the centre of Sector 7.

Sectors 1 and 2. Both are addressed along 27th Main Road, the north–south commercial road on the layout's eastern edge. Sector 1 holds its northern end near Agara and Sarjapur Road; Sector 2 holds its southern end near Parangipalya. Restaurants and cafés are more spread out than that: an OpenStreetMap count in September 2026 found twice as many places to eat and drink along 17th and 18th Cross Road, which cross the middle of the layout, as along 27th Main.

Sector 1 is the largest of HSR Layout's seven sectors at about 2.24 km², roughly a third of the layout's 6.7 km², measured from OpenStreetMap's sector boundaries. Sectors 3 and 4 are the smallest, at about 0.5 km² each. Sector 1 also has the most places mapped, including 100 places to eat and drink.

HSR Stay is at 207, 20th Cross Rd, 7th Sector, HSR Layout, near the Ganesh Temple, Bengaluru 560102. It is under construction and opens in December 2026. From the centre of Sector 7, Bommanahalli station on the Yellow Line, open since August 2025, is about 1.5 km on foot, and the HSR Layout metro station site on the future Blue Line is about 0.8 km in a straight line.

No. All seven HSR Layout sectors share the pin code 560102, served by the HSR Layout Sub Post Office. Some addresses in older village pockets are written with a neighbouring pin code instead: 560034, the Koramangala pin code, appears on some Agara addresses in Sector 1, and 560068, the Bommanahalli pin code, on some Mangammanapalya addresses in Sector 7. For post and couriers, use 560102.

Agara Lake sits on the northern edge of HSR Layout, between Sector 1 and Sector 4, at roughly 12.9202°N, 77.6418°E. Sector 4 is the closest sector centre to it at about 0.6 km in a straight line, followed by Sector 5 at about 0.8 km and Sector 1 at about 0.9 km.

Ward numbers quoted for HSR Layout on older pages are out of date. Under the BBMP, HSR Layout was Ward 174. The BBMP was replaced by the Greater Bengaluru Authority on 2 September 2025 and the city's wards were redrawn into 369 wards across five city corporations, notified on 19 November 2025.
