Punjab PSPCL Power Cut Today: Check full list of 273 areas and outage time in Amritsar, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Patiala, Mohali and other cities

The Punjab State Power Corporation (PSPCL) has released a detailed schedule of power cuts affecting at least 273 locations across major cities including Ludhiana, Patiala, Amritsar, Jalandhar, Bathinda and Mohali. The outages, scheduled between April 22 and April 26, come amid rising temperatures nearing 40°C and a heatwave alert issued by the India Meteorological Department. The move has triggered public anger across the state, especially as power supply disruptions stretch between three and nine hours in some areas.

Punjab power outage duration capped after backlash

Facing criticism, PSPCL has revised its outage policy. As per an order issued on April 23, planned power cuts will now be limited to a maximum of four hours per day.

Officials said earlier proposals from zonal offices included outages lasting up to 6–8 hours for maintenance and infrastructure work. The revised cap comes after complaints from residents dealing with long cuts during peak summer conditions.


Here are some of the major outages scheduled for April 24:

Why Punjab power cuts are being imposed

PSPCL has said the outages are part of pre-scheduled maintenance work aimed at ensuring stable electricity supply during high summer demand.

However, the timing has been questioned even within the department, with concerns raised about conducting extended maintenance during a heatwave.

Law and order concerns reported

In Amritsar, tensions escalated after a group of residents reportedly entered a power substation during an outage and switched the supply back on. Officials said staff members were manhandled during the incident.

Punjab is witnessing widespread scheduled power cuts during one of the hottest periods of the year. While PSPCL maintains that the outages are necessary to strengthen infrastructure, the timing and duration continue to draw strong public reaction.
