Why the Power Cuts Are Necessary

According to officials, the Bengaluru power cut schedule is part of preventive maintenance ahead of changing weather conditions. The work includes shifting high-tension cables, replacing old electric poles, trimming trees near overhead lines, and upgrading terminal equipment. In Attibele and Anekal, transformer testing and infrastructure modernisation are being carried out to support the city’s growing industrial load. Indore Water Crisis: Residents of Bakery Gali Claim Using Contaminated, Insect-Infested Water.

Authorities aim to restore power by early evening each day, though delays are possible due to technical or weather-related challenges. Residents can check real-time Bengaluru power cut updates via the official BESCOM website or the Mithra app.
