The Bengaluru Electricity Supply Company Ltd. (Bescom) has informed residents that several parts of the city will face planned power interruptions on Wednesday as part of routine maintenance activities. Consumers in the affected localities have been advised to make prior arrangements and remain cautious during the outage period. According to Bescom, the shutdown is necessary to ensure the smooth functioning and safety of the electricity distribution network. The scheduled work will impact areas connected to key power stations, including the 66/11 KV Vijayanagara Station, Padmanabhanagar, Subramanyapura, and ISRO Layout stations, as confirmed through an official update shared by the utility provider.
As per the announcement, electricity supply will be suspended at different intervals depending on the station and location. Areas falling under the 66/11 KV Vijayanagara Station will experience power cuts from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. due to quarterly maintenance work being carried out at the facility. In contrast, other affected locations linked to Padmanabhanagar, Subramanyapura, and ISRO Layout stations will face outages from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Bescom stated that the maintenance is essential to improve service reliability and prevent unexpected disruptions in the future.
Affected Areas Under 66/11 KV Vijayanagara Station:Residents in localities supplied by the 66/11 KV Vijayanagara Station will be impacted by the scheduled shutdown during the extended maintenance window. The power cut is expected to last up to seven hours as technical teams carry out inspection and upkeep work on critical infrastructure. Consumers in these neighbourhoods are urged to plan daily activities accordingly, ensure backup arrangements where possible, and cooperate with the authorities. Bescom has assured that the supply will be restored promptly once the maintenance is completed and systems are safely brought back online.
