Bengaluru Power Cuts Today as BESCOM Schedules Dec. 24 Maintenance Across Key Stations

Utilities say the daytime shutdowns support quarterly maintenance to bolster grid reliability.

Overview

  • Power will be off from 10 am to 5 pm in areas linked to the 66/11 kV Vijayanagara station, with other listed zones facing a 10 am to 4 pm window tied to Padmanabhanagar, Subramanyapura and ISRO Layout stations.
  • Affected neighbourhoods include Basaveshwaranagara, Vijayanagara, Govindarajanagar, Kamakshipalya, Nagarabhavi and stretches of Padmanabhanagar, BSK 2nd Stage, ISRO Layout, Uttarahalli Road and nearby localities.
  • KPTCL and BESCOM describe the work as routine quarterly upkeep such as testing and hotspot repairs intended to prevent faults and maintain voltage stability.
  • Today’s shutdown follows Tuesday’s emergency maintenance that cut supply across more than 80 areas, with EPIP and several tech and industrial campuses listed for longer 10 am to 5 pm interruptions.
  • Residents and businesses have been advised to plan ahead, check official BESCOM notices or @NammaBESCOM for updates, and use helpline 1912 for complaints, with restoration expected after tasks conclude.
