Bengaluru: The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) has decided to regularise hoardings and LED advertisement boards, provided advertisers pay the required fees under the newly introduced Greater Bengaluru Area (Advertisement) Rules, 2025.
Officials said the one-time opportunity window will close on April 13.
According to a public notice, advertisers who own legacy hoardings and LED self-advertisement billboards - currently considered illegal - can convert them into commercial billboards under the new scheme.

Some advertisers have already opted for the scheme, as legacy hoardings - many of which had remained without advertisements for years due to a city-wide ban - have started displaying ads again in recent weeks.
While the scheme is expected to generate revenue for civic bodies, the city is likely to be flooded with billboards in the coming days.
