However, Bengaluru Urban has seen a steep drop in CSR spending. After peaking at an astonishing Rs 1,074.13 crore in FY 2021-22, contributions to the city plummeted to a mere Rs 2.98 crore in FY 2023-24. The state's CSR contributions have grown steadily since FY 2019-20, when the total spending stood at Rs 1,448.16 crore and reached a new high of Rs 2,254.88 crore in FY 2023-24, according to data shared by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in Lok Sabha in response to a question by Dakshina Kannada MP Capt Brijesh Chowta.
