CV Raman Nagar is an established locality in East Bengaluru, named after the Nobel laureate Sir C V Raman, known above all for its concentration of defence and public sector institutions. The DRDO township, the BEML units, and the defence research labs sit here, alongside the large Bagmane Tech Park that brought an IT layer to the area. Around them are settled residential colonies of old quarters and newer apartments. The locality connects to the Purple Line metro at Baiyappanahalli nearby. This page lays out what sits inside CV Raman Nagar, which routes pass through it, where the busiest stops are, and who the buses reach.
The locality mixes guarded institutional campuses, residential colonies, and the tech park, with CMH Road and the Old Madras Road side connecting it to the city. Buses around the BEML gate, the tech park, and the colonies are the ones that move the crowd, which is what makes them the high-visibility routes.
