GBA disconnects electricity to commercial building in Bengaluru over setback violation

Wednesday, 23 September 2026, 07:46 · 1 min read

The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA — the civic body overseeing India's tech-hub city of Bengaluru) has disconnected the electricity supply to a commercial building in the Domlur neighbourhood after officials found it had been constructed without the mandatory setback space required on all sides. GBA Chief Commissioner M. Maheshwar Rao, who ordered the disconnection during an inspection on 22 September 2026, also directed authorities to serve a notice on a nearby building under construction for the same violation and to initiate removal action. The crackdown signals a tougher stance by the GBA on unauthorised construction practices that breach building regulations in one of India's fastest-growing cities.
