Planned shutdowns will touch multiple Bengaluru zones today, Friday, October 2, 2026, as BESCOM undertakes feeder maintenance. Most works run in daytime windows, commonly 10 am to 5 pm, though crews sometimes finish sooner. Check your exact street and feeder before heading out. Schedules can shift with field constraints or weather, so recheck around mid‑day for changes.
BESCOM does not publish one central PDF each morning. Instead, today’s shutdowns surface feeder‑wise inside the BESCOM Mitra app and in official helpline replies. Search by address, RR number, or subdivision to see your slot and distribution transformer code. GridWatch mirrors those replies for unplanned faults, helping cross‑check restoration when lines are busy.
Bengaluru power cut today: how to find your area‑wise timings
Open the BESCOM Mitra app, tap Outages, and use search to find your street. Enable notifications for your RR number to receive restoration alerts. If the app is slow, call 1912 and note the complaint number. District WhatsApp lines also register outages and share estimated times; Kolar, Chikkaballapur, Ramanagara, Tumakuru, Davanagere, and Chitradurga numbers remain active.

BESCOM shutdowns: safety and WFH tips
Avoid using lifts near window start or end, when flickers are common. Shut down sensitive gear ten minutes before work begins. Use a mini‑UPS for broadband if meetings cannot move. Hospitals and hostels should test generator changeover, and never back‑feed into the grid; recent injuries highlighted the risk when lines were unintentionally energised.
Expect staggered restoration this afternoon as teams close permits and energise feeders. If supply exceeds the window, call 1912 with your ticket for escalation, and report hazards immediately. Transmission works can extend local shutdowns, so recheck the app around 2 pm and 5 pm today, October 2. Keep devices charged, and store water where pumps need power.
