Chennai outage Friday for electricity board maintenance 9am to 2pm

India May 22, 2026

Hey Chennai, just a heads-up: there is a scheduled power outage this Friday, May 22, 2026.
the electricity board will be doing maintenance from 9am to 2pm so expect the lights to go out in parts of Thirumudivakkam and T Nagar.

Thirumudivakkam and T Nagar areas listed

If you are in Thirumudivakkam (think MKB Nagar, Women's Industrial Estate, Thiruneermalai Main Road, Perumal Nagar, Palm Rivera Apartment, or Royal Castle Apartment), or nearby spots like Kumaran Nagar and Valuthalampedu, plan ahead.
T Nagar folks on Thyagaraya Road, North Boag Road, Usman Road, and Arcot Street should also be ready.
The electricity board says power could come back early if work wraps up sooner, so hang tight and cooperate with maintenance teams for a smoother process.
