In Koramangala, Bengaluru, a dispute has arisen over the alleged misuse of a residential property by a private electric vehicle battery company. Gilbert Millicent Nathan, a resident of 4th Block, first raised this issue in November 2025, highlighting the negative impacts on the neighborhood, including congestion and safety concerns. Following Nathan's complaint, the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) issued a formal notice on October 11, 2025, confirming that commercial operations were being conducted in a residential zone. The notice mandated the company to halt operations within 7 days due to violations related to noise and air pollution. However, enforcement has not yet been realized, as the company has not complied with the directives. A senior GBA official stated that while multiple notices have been sent, the company claims to have obtained necessary clearances, which complicates the enforcement process.
