6th Block Koramangala

Koramangala 6th Block: A dense, vibrant yet strained Bengaluru hub where tech-zoned life meets crumbling infrastructure and chronic quality-of-life battles.

Koramangala 6th Block is a fast-paced, mixed-use neighbourhood in Bengaluru's tech corridor. It is one of the most densely packed residential-commercial zones in the city (over 22,000 people per sq km), featuring a 2-acre eco park maintained since 1993, the leafy Lakshmi Devi Park, and a celebrated RWA-led waste-warrior programme. But daily life here is marked by mounting tensions: 80 Ft Road restaurant terraces blare music past midnight, streets like 17th B Main have gone unlit for over a year, waterlogging swamps basements during monsoon, and sewage lines are clogged by pub plates and cups.

Air & weather: sources and methodology

Monthly averages cover 2023–2025. Each year’s monthly value is calculated first, then qualifying years receive equal weight. AQI, temperature and humidity require 90% observation coverage; rainfall requires complete daily totals. At least two years support every displayed month. Gaps show insufficient coverage.

Air quality uses mean US AQI. Temperature is air temperature at 2 metres; humidity is relative humidity at 2 metres. Rainfall is the average of each year’s monthly rainfall total. Observations use Asia/Kolkata. Collected 2026-10-20.
