TANGEDCO Schedules Five-Hour Daytime Outages in Parts of Chennai

Overview

• TANGEDCO has announced a scheduled five-hour power cut for parts of Chennai on Thursday that is set to run from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM in named localities such as Iyyappanthangal, Pallavaram and Tiruverkadu.
• Officials say the outages are routine work to replace cables, service substations and maintain transformers so the distribution system is more reliable during peak load periods.
• The utility cites a recent demand spike that reached about 5,014 MW in early June as a key reason for accelerating network-strengthening work across multiple Tamil Nadu districts.
• Separate distribution companies also published daytime outage schedules for several Delhi neighbourhoods including Palam and Dwarka, and many Chennai-area notices list division-wise street-level details and contact numbers for complaints.
• Residents and small businesses are advised to charge devices, ready backup power or contingency plans, and note that supply may be restored earlier if crews finish work ahead of schedule.
