Bengaluru Electricity Cut Schedule: Anticipated power outages in Bengaluru this weekend; Here's what you need to know

Bengaluru residents should brace themselves for anticipated power disruptions this coming weekend. The Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM) and the Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL) are scheduled to conduct routine maintenance activities, signaling likely power outages on Saturday and Sunday.

These scheduled tasks encompass various crucial activities, including clearing vegetation, setting up power supplies for water installation under multi-village schemes, refurbishing infrastructure, and upgrading and maintaining crucial structures like DTCs. Additionally, the agenda involves relocating cables from above to below, ensuring round-the-clock water supply for Jalasiri, and repairing damage to underground cables.

The majority of these outages are anticipated to occur between 10 AM and 5 PM, with some completing earlier. Bescom's decision to intensify these maintenance operations during weekends is strategic. With fewer workers on-site and reduced overall grid load, these timings are optimal for minimal disruption to regular operations.


Detailed locations affected by these anticipated outages have been specified for both Saturday, November 25, and Sunday, November 26. The areas slated for disruption include Marohalli, Tonachinakuppe, Bhuvaneshwari Nagara, and several others on Saturday. On Sunday, areas such as Ramarayana Palya, Bts Mill, Kannamangala, and numerous others will likely experience power interruptions.

Preparedness for these outages becomes essential for affected residents and businesses in these areas. Staying informed and planning accordingly during these periods can help mitigate inconveniences caused by the temporary power disruptions.

Quoting BESCOM officials, "These scheduled outages are part of routine maintenance crucial for ensuring continued and reliable power supply in the region."

The announced schedule provides critical information to facilitate preparedness among affected communities. Being aware of these anticipated outages enables individuals and organizations to plan activities around the stipulated timings and ensure necessary measures are in place to manage during the power disruptions.

While these anticipated power outages might inconvenience residents and establishments in the listed areas, prior knowledge of the schedule allows for proactive measures to minimize disruption during the maintenance period.
