Bengaluru to face power cut on January 7
Heads up, Bengaluru! Parts of the city will have a planned power outage on January 7, 2026, as BESCOM carries out maintenance to upgrade the electrical grid.
The goal is to make your electricity supply safer and more reliable, but it does mean some neighborhoods in the Urban division will be without power for a bit.
What you need to know
If you're in an affected area, check with your local BESCOM office or helpline for exact timings—since the duration might differ depending on where you are.
Both homes and businesses connected to certain feeders will feel the impact.
BESCOM suggests avoiding use of electrical appliances during the outage (just to be safe when things come back on).
They've promised quick restoration once work wraps up, but if you run into issues or need help, reach out through their customer care channels.
