Bengaluru residents have been informed of a planned power outage on Tuesday, 10 February 2026 as part of ongoing maintenance and infrastructure work being carried out by the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM) and Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Ltd (KPTCL). The outage is scheduled to affect large parts of the city for several hours during the day.

Power Cut Timing

• Date: Tuesday, 10 February 2026
• Expected Hours: Approximately 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (may vary by area based on work progress)

The power shutdown is being implemented in stages depending on feeder maintenance needs, so some localities may get power restored earlier.

Why This Power Cut Is Happening

The scheduled outage forms part of routine maintenance and preventive work on Bengaluru's electrical network. During these planned interruptions, technicians will inspect, repair and strengthen transmission lines, transformers and substations that cannot be serviced while electricity is live. These preventive measures aim to reduce unexpected breakdowns and enhance long-term reliability of the power grid.

Tips for Residents During the Outage

To make the most of the day despite the outage:

1. Charge phones, power banks and laptops before 10:00 AM
2. Plan power-dependent tasks (ironing, laundry, cooking) before or after the outage window
3. Keep backup lighting ready
4. If working from home, schedule offline tasks or go to a location with uninterrupted power if possible
