Overview
- A large fire broke out at an electric-vehicle storage facility in the Goods Shed area of Moosapet and sent thick black smoke over surrounding neighborhoods.
- Fire crews and police responded with multiple engines and cordons, and emergency teams brought the blaze under control with no reported casualties.
- Initial on-scene reports said several electric two-wheelers were gutted and a transport vehicle parked beside the warehouse was burnt.
- The facility has been reported by some outlets as an Ola EV bike warehouse, but authorities and reporters say that ownership and the fire’s cause remain unconfirmed and under investigation.
- Because the site sits close to railway tracks and stored lithium-ion batteries, officials are examining battery-related ignition and any risk to adjacent property as the damage assessment continues.
