Morning searches for power cut today spike again in Bengaluru, and with reason. As of Friday, August 28, 2026, emergency works are aligned to weekend maintenance that will hit select east–north belts. Bengaluru Electricity Supply Company Limited and media advisories point to KPTCL’s quarterly line clearance driving the plan. Residents should check timings and live status through the day.
Saturday, August 29, is the busier window for the north periphery. Power is slated between 10 am and 4 pm under the Rajanakunte substation. Localities flagged include Honnenahalli, Singanayakanahalli, Rajanakunte, Marasandra, Sriramanahalli, Nelakunte, Haniyur, Chellahalli, KMF, Itagalpura, Bairapura, Budamanahalli, Dibburu, Kakolu, Sonnenahalli and Century Layout. Expect feeder-wise switching, so edges of these clusters may see staggered restoration.
Bengaluru power cut: area-wise shutdowns and timings
Sunday, August 30, targets the Kadugodi–Whitefield belt from 10 am to 4 pm. The list spans Kadugodi, Whitefield Main Road, Channasandra, Immadihalli, Hagadur, Belathur, ECC Road, Inner Circle, Borewell Road, Naidu Layout, Prashant Layout and adjoining pockets. Weather or on‑ground constraints can stretch switching windows, so keep buffers for essential work.
How to check BESCOM outage status and escalate
Use the 24x7 helpline 1912 to log a complaint and request an estimated restoration time. Note the complaint ID for follow‑ups. Track transmission side outages on KPTCL’s State Load Despatch Centre portal under Transmission System Outage Details. For live field replies, monitor official handles, especially Bescom Helpline and Namma BESCOM. Record feeder or substation names when reporting.
BESCOM emergency maintenance: what Bengaluru residents should do today
Charge phones, routers and laptops early. Run lifts and overhead pumps before Saturday’s window. Keep UPS units tested, switch sensitive appliances to surge protection, and plan work‑from‑home around the 10 am–4 pm blocks. Cafes or co‑working spaces with backup can help small businesses. Faults from rain or wind can add unscheduled cuts, so keep devices topped up and updates handy.
