Merusri Serenova near Rajanukunte, IVC Road: Buyer's Guide (October 2026)
Merusri Serenova is a gated plotted development at Maragondanahalli, off IVC Road near Rajanukunte in North Bangalore. The layout was registered with Karnataka RERA on 9 July 2026, soon after its plan was approved. This guide sets out the plot sizes, the prices, the registered dates and the checks a buyer should run before booking.
What Merusri Serenova Is
Merusri Serenova is a layout of villa plots, where the buyer purchases land and builds a house on it later. The layout covers 48,334 sq m, which is about 12 acres, and holds 167 plots. Three parks, one civic amenity site and the internal roads make up 47% of the land.
The layout plan was approved by the Bangalore International Airport Area Planning Authority (BIAAPA) on 12 June 2026. Development started on 30 April 2026 and the registered completion date is 31 December 2030. Roads, drains and services are therefore at an early stage, and plots are being sold ahead of the finished layout.
Who the Project Suits
The layout suits buyers who want land on the airport side of the city and are comfortable waiting for the infrastructure and then building. It also suits families in Yelahanka and along Doddaballapur Road who want a house of their own design close to where they already live. Buyers who want to move in within two or three years should look at completed layouts or ready homes.
A plot is paid for largely upfront, unlike an apartment under a construction-linked plan. The house is a separate budget, and on a larger plot it can come close to the cost of the land.
Location and Connectivity
The address is survey numbers 42/5, 43/1, 43/2, 44/4, 44/5, 44/6, 45/2 and 50 of Maragondanahalli, Kundana Hobli, Devanahalli Taluk, Bengaluru Rural 562110. The layout is reached from IVC Road, which links Doddaballapur Road near Rajanukunte with Bellary Road (NH 44) and Devanahalli. Kempegowda International Airport is to the east, reached by IVC Road and Bellary Road.
Rajanukunte and Yelahanka have the nearest schools, colleges, hospitals and shopping. Rajanukunte also has a railway station on the Bangalore to Doddaballapur line. The Blue Line metro to the airport is under construction along Bellary Road, some distance east of the layout.
Plot Sizes and Prices
Merusri Serenova offers four standard plot dimensions and a set of odd-sized plots. The table below gives the count of each size and its price range.
| Plot size | Area | Plots | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 x 40 ft | 1,200 sq ft | 53 | Rs. 84 Lakhs to Rs. 90 Lakhs |
| 30 x 50 ft | 1,500 sq ft | 31 | Rs. 1.05 Crore to Rs. 1.13 Crore |
| 40 x 60 ft | 2,400 sq ft | 13 | Rs. 1.68 Crore to Rs. 1.80 Crore |
| 40 x 70 ft | 2,800 sq ft | 5 | Rs. 1.96 Crore to Rs. 2.10 Crore |
| Odd-sized | Varies | 65 | On request |
The price per sq ft is about Rs. 7,000 to Rs. 7,500 across the four sizes. The larger plots are few, so buyers who want a 40 x 60 or 40 x 70 plot should ask early which ones are open. Odd-sized plots make up more than a third of the layout, and their exact dimensions are in the approved plan.
The Full Cost
The plot price is the first of several payments. These are the usual additions:
- Stamp duty of 5% plus cess and surcharge (5.6% in all) and registration of 2%, for a plot above Rs. 45 Lakhs
- Clubhouse, infrastructure and maintenance charges, where they apply
- Khata transfer, electricity and water connection fees and legal fees
- The cost of building the house, which is a separate budget
On a plot of Rs. 84 Lakhs, stamp duty and registration together come to about Rs. 6.4 Lakhs. Our EMI calculator gives a quick estimate of the monthly outgo on the loan.
RERA and Approvals
Merusri Serenova RERA registration number is PRM/KA/RERA/1250/303/PR/090726/008802, granted on 9 July 2026. The registered promoter is Merusri Townhouses Private Limited, a company of Merusri Developers. The sale agreement is signed with this company, so its name should appear on the title papers.
The number can be checked by project name on the Karnataka RERA portal, which also carries the approved plan and the plot list. Bookings taken before July 2026 should now be backed by an agreement that quotes the registration number. Payments go into the project's RERA-designated bank account.
About the Developer

Checks Before Booking
A new layout needs a careful look at the papers, because the land is all there is to inspect. These are the main checks:
- Match the plot number and its dimensions with the registered plot list
- Ask for the parent deeds, the land conversion order and the BIAAPA layout approval
- Get an encumbrance certificate for the plot and its parent survey numbers
- Confirm when the plot will be released by the planning authority for registration in the buyer's name
- Get the handover date and the infrastructure schedule in the agreement
- Ask which amenities are part of the approved plan and when each will be ready
- Check the road access to the layout and any road widening marked on the plan
Buyers comparing layouts on this side of the city can also look at other plots for sale in Devanahalli. Our team can arrange a visit and share the approved layout plan.
