Bearys Group announces grand launch of 'Bearys Turning Point' mall in Deralakatte, Mangalore
Mangalore: The Bearys Group has officially announced the grand launch of its much-awaited mixed-use development project, 'Bearys Turning Point', in Deralakatte, Mangalore. The announcement was made at a press conference held in the city, where Nand Kumar (Retail Head, Bearys Group), Bapu Nainar (PRO), Kodi Mohammed Iqbal, and Prafulla (Assistant Marketing) shared details about the landmark project.
The new development promises to redefine urban living and leisure in one of Mangalore’s fastest-growing areas. According to the officials, Bearys Turning Point is envisioned as a comprehensive destination combining premium apartments, diverse retail outlets, and a vibrant family entertainment experience under one roof.
At the heart of the project is a state-of-the-art Family Entertainment Centre (FEC) that includes a modern 4-screen multiplex, a well-designed multi-cuisine food court with premium dining ambience, and a range of attractions. The entertainment zone features interactive games, a four-lane bowling alley, the region’s largest indoor climbing wall, bumper cars, indoor cricket, and a dedicated play area for children.
The design of the entertainment space integrates the multiplex, FEC, and food court into one seamless layout, with high ceilings and expansive glazing that offer a blend of indoor and outdoor experiences. The space is further enhanced by panoramic views of the surrounding hills, which shift in appearance from day to night, creating two distinct visual atmospheres.
The name 'Bearys Turning Point' ,the team explained, reflects both its physical location at a turning on the main road and its symbolic meaning — representing progress, transformation, and new beginnings for the region.
The project also holds added significance due to its location in the constituency of U.T. Khader, Speaker of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly. The Bearys Group stated that the mall aligns with Khader's vision of transforming Mangalore constituency into a world-class city, and the group is proud to play its part in contributing to this larger dream.
Though initially scheduled to open in 2020, the project was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, with work nearing completion, the Bearys Group is ready to welcome the public for the grand launch on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at 4:30 PM at Bearys Turning Point, Deralakatte.
On opening day, the mall will host free games for all visitors at its gaming hub. The retail complex will house more than 45 shops, and the next phase will see the opening of a sprawling hypermarket along with flagship outlets of leading global retail brands. The Mall also has separate prayer rooms for men and women inside the premises.
The management noted that over 25,000 students who reside and study in the Deralakatte education hub, along with residents of nearby areas including from neighbouring Kerala, will benefit from the mall's presence.
The mall will remain open until 11 PM daily, with the last screening at the multiplex beginning at 10:45 PM. The Bearys Group has extended an open invitation to the public, and all well-wishers to be part of this milestone event.

Cong takes swipe at PM over India not being part of US-led 'Pax Silica' grouping
New Delh (PTI) The Congress on Saturday said it is perhaps not very surprising that India is not part of a US-led strategic initiative to build a secure silicon supply chain, given the "sharp downturn" in the Trump-Modi ties, and asserted that it would have been to "our advantage if we had been part of this group".
Congress general secretary in charge of communications Jairam Ramesh took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying the news of India not being part of the group comes after the PM had enthusiastically posted on social media about a telephone call with his "once-upon-a-time good friend and a recipient of many hugs in Ahmedabad, Houston, and Washington DC".
In a lengthy post on X, Ramesh said, "According to some news reports, the US has excluded India from a nine-nation initiative it has launched to reduce Chinese control on high-tech supply chains. The agreement is called Pax Silica, clearly as a counter to Pax Sinica. The nations included (for the moment at least) are the US, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Australia."
"Given the sharp downturn in the Trump-Modi ties since May 10th, 2025, it is perhaps not very surprising that India has not been included. Undoubtedly, it would have been to our advantage if we had been part of this group."
"This news comes a day after the PM had enthusiastically posted on his telephone call with his once-upon-a-time good friend and a recipient of many hugs in Ahmedabad, Houston, and Washington DC," the Congress leader asserted.
The new US-led strategic initiative, rooted in deep cooperation with trusted allies, has been launched to build a secure and innovation-driven silicon supply chain.
According to the US State Department, the initiative called 'Pax Silica' aims to reduce coercive dependencies, protect the materials and capabilities foundational to artificial intelligence (AI), and ensure aligned nations can develop and deploy transformative technologies at scale.
The initiative includes Japan, South Korea, Singapore, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Australia. With the exception of India, all other QUAD countries -- Japan, Australia and the US -- are part of the new initiative.
New Delhi will host the India-AI Impact Summit 2026 on February 19-20, focusing on the principles of 'People, Planet, and Progress'. The summit, announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the France AI Action Summit, will be the first-ever global AI summit hosted in the Global South.
Prime Minister Modi and US President Trump on Thursday discussed ways to sustain momentum in the bilateral economic partnership in a phone conversation amid signs of the two sides inching closer to firming up a much-awaited trade deal.
The phone call between the two leaders came on a day Indian and American negotiators concluded two-day talks on the proposed bilateral trade agreement that is expected to provide relief to India from the Trump administration's whopping 50 per cent tariffs on Indian goods.
In a social media post, Modi had described the conversation as "warm and engaging".
"We reviewed the progress in our bilateral relations and discussed regional and international developments. India and the US will continue to work together for global peace, stability and prosperity," Modi had said without making any reference to trade ties.
