Badamanavarthekaval or BM Kaval is a village in the southern state of Karnataka, India. It is located in the outskirts of Bangalore situated in Bangalore South Taluk of Bangalore Urban district. This location is recently in discussion for its administrative context because it lies on Bengaluru’s expanding periphery, Badamanavarthekaval has been included in various Greater Bengaluru planning efforts and is affected by urban expansion and government land-use decisions.

The area has seen disputes and irregularities connected to conversion of agricultural/forest land into layouts and private holdings; several illegal layouts on agricultural, government and forest lands have been identified and removed.

There have been high-profile contested land transfers in the wider BM Kaval region (including proposals, awards and state government legal interventions), and plans such as a proposed Film City / estate transfers have attracted court challenges.
