Bengaluru Power Cut on 9 February 2026: Scheduled Outage & What to Expect

Residents in Bengaluru have been notified of a planned power outage on Monday, 9 February 2026 as part of ongoing maintenance activities by the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited (BESCOM). This outage is the continuation of a series of scheduled shutdowns happening across the city through early February to support critical infrastructure work.

Power Cut Timing

• Date: Monday, 9 February 2026
• Scheduled Outage Time: Approximately 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Maintenance work is expected during daytime hours, so plan your routines; such as work, cooking and other power-dependent tasks; ahead.

According to BESCOM updates, emergency maintenance at key substations like Sarakki and Elite Promenade will require temporary suspension of power supply in parts of the city during these hours.

Likely Affected Areas

During the February 4-9 maintenance window, several neighbourhoods; especially in north Bengaluru and surrounding zones, have been repeatedly listed as part of the planned cuts. While exact areas on 9 February may vary depending on feeder operations, the extended outage period affects localities serviced by multiple substation networks.

Areas under maintenance schedule include:

• Kavalbyrasandra
• L.R. Bande Main Road

Why This Power Cut Is Happening

The series of power cuts, including the one scheduled for 9 February, are part of urgent maintenance and capacity enhancement work at key substations and transmission lines. BESCOM and the Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL) have stated that this work cannot be completed while the lines are live, necessitating temporary shutdowns to ensure safety and long-term reliability of the power network.

• Charge phones, power banks and laptops before 10:00 AM.
• Plan chores requiring electricity before or after the scheduled outage hours.
