In the AlApanA tradition of Carnatic music, is there something analogous to the concept of 'badhat' in Hindustani Music
Badhat means gradual development of raga. I see also the use of the word Upaj in case of Dhrupad, meaning to gradually unfold the raga.
In the AlApanA tradition of Carnatic music, is there something analogous to the concept of 'badhat' in Hindustani Music?

Yes. Yesteryears saw such alapanas. I don't know if such are going on today. Today it seems to be more like an up - down the scale rave race.
Alapana has the following parts (acc to carnatic music treatises ) :-
akshiptika ( the first few phrases that give out the raga colour - have to be signature phrases rendered with bhavam ), ragavardhani ( this is the most beautiful part where the alapana traverses leisurely , exploring places around small sets of notes with meanderings , jaarus ) , makaranda ( stacking of brigas across the raga) .
For more info , https://youtu.be/r1Yy6DBN9Nw
And this is one of the very few alapanas sung that way -

What a thanam ! Actually , no one sings like this today . They can , if they emulate him.
And this is the kind of voice quality and tone needed for carnatic music. Today's youngsters ( most of them ) seem to have voices that are akin to cine muisic voices - and they call it carnatic music , making you sick ! .
