Basaveshwaranagar was formed as an extension by the City Improvement Trust Board (currently the [[Bangalore Development Authority]]) in stages between the 1970s and early 1980s.

The close proximity of Basaveshwaranagar to the [[Bangalore City railway station]], [[Kempegowda Bus Station]], the [[Bengaluru Pete]], residential-cum-commercial localities like [[Rajajinagar]] and [[Malleswaram]] and the [[Peenya]] industrial area helped its growth. Today, Basaveshwaranagar is an important residential and commercial hub in West Bangalore. But since Basaveshwaranagar is very far away from the IT Corridor (a large area in the eastern and south-eastern parts of Bangalore city with [[Information Technology|IT]] and software parks and [[Special Economic Zone|SEZ]]s), large-scale development in the area has been minimal and Basaveshwaranagar is today considered one of the greenest and more conservative localities of Bangalore city. | ||
