Bengaluru residents face scheduled power outages today, July 4, affecting over twenty key localities. The Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM) announced six-hour interruptions for essential maintenance work. These outages allow the Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL) to upgrade vital infrastructure. Knowing your area schedule helps in planning daily tasks and managing electronic backups effectively.
Most disruptions will occur between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM across various city divisions. Engineers are focusing on line shifting and transformer repairs to prevent monsoon-related faults. Sudden rain can sometimes extend the downtime significantly even for pre-planned works. Residents should monitor the official BESCOM Mithra app for real-time updates and restoration times.

Maintenance involves replacing old cables and trimming trees near live electricity wires. These preventive steps are crucial before the monsoon peak to avoid grid failures. KPTCL monitors these upgrades to ensure long-term stability for all consumers. Strategic planning helps residents avoid unexpected blackouts during upcoming heavy rain periods in the city.
The planned outages span several residential and commercial hubs in the capital today. Major divisions including HSR Layout, Kengeri, and Whitefield will see intermittent supply. Below is a detailed list of the primary zones impacted by these maintenance activities. This table helps you identify if your street falls under the six-hour window.
| Division | Affected Localities | Timing Window |

| South Division | Jayanagar, Banashankari, JP Nagar | 10 AM - 4 PM |
| West Division | Rajajinagar, Vijaynagar, Basaveshwaranagar | 10 AM - 4 PM |

Citizens can dial the 24-hour helpline at 1912 for any urgent queries. It is advisable to avoid using lifts during the outage windows to prevent trapping. Residents using medical devices at home should ensure battery backups are fully charged. Unplugging sensitive electronics protects them from voltage fluctuations when the power finally returns.
Maintaining the power grid is vital for city safety during rainy spells. These outages reduce the risk of long-term equipment failure later this month. Users should stay vigilant about overhead lines during high winds or evening showers. We will provide updates if BESCOM announces further changes to the current maintenance schedule.
