Bengaluru faces scheduled power cuts today, Monday, August 24, as BESCOM undertakes feeder maintenance. The official roster highlights a concentrated 11 am to 3 pm window across the Govindapura–Hegde Nagar belt, with adjacent pockets flagged: Brindavan Nagar, BMTC Depot, Titan Garage, Chandrika Soap Factory, Gandhinagar, plus LRP Office, Jayakumar RMU, and Divya Shanti points. Expect feeder-wise switching within these bands, not citywide outages.
Today’s work continues Sunday’s substation-linked maintenance that affected wider zones and longer windows, with BESCOM indicating disruptions across more than 70 locations over August 23–24. Monday bands are narrower, but timing varies by feeder and load conditions, so plan per neighbourhood rather than pin codes. Cross-check your exact feeder and ETA before operating lifts, pumps, or sensitive equipment during the window.
Bengaluru power cut today: division-wise timings and localities
East–north corridors carry most of today’s 11 am to 3 pm shutdowns. The list covers Govindapura, Hegde Nagar, Brindavan Nagar, Gandhinagar, Bhairavi Apartments, BMTC Depot, Chandrika Soap Factory, Karle and Titan Garage vicinities, with LRP Office, Jayakumar RMU, and Divya Shanti among tagged feeder nodes. Expect staggered restoration as individual feeders test and reclose after work.
How to live‑verify BESCOM outages (Urja Mitra, 1912, BESCOM app/X)
For live status and ETAs, call the 24x7 power helpline 1912 and quote your RR number. The BESCOM Mithra app shows scheduled and unscheduled shutdowns, complaint tickets, and restoration progress. The BESCOM Helpline page states, “All scheduled & unscheduled power interruptions will be posted here,” on X. Urja Mitra also carries utility‑submitted outage alerts and schedules.
Restoration ETAs, escalation and safety checklist
Restoration is feeder‑wise; some streets return earlier than neighbours. If power exceeds the announced window, raise a ticket on BESCOM Mithra or via 1912 and note the service request number for escalation. Before 11 am, charge phones and power banks, top up overhead tanks, avoid lift trips near start times, unplug sensitive appliances, and confirm backup for medical devices.
Early heads‑up for Aug 25 power cut pockets
BESCOM typically updates the next‑day planned maintenance roster in the evening. Recheck after 6 pm today for any Tuesday, August 25 pockets, especially if you work from home or manage common‑area pumps. Use the BESCOM Mithra app, 1912 and the Helpline’s X handle to confirm fresh timings before night operations or early‑morning schedules tomorrow.
