Bengaluru searches for power cut today are spiking for good reason. Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited maintenance centred on the HBR Layout substation will trigger midday shutdowns today, September 3, from 12 pm to 4 pm across linked neighbourhoods. Bangalore Electricity Supply Company has urged residents to plan for the window and track live updates through official channels.
The impact stretches beyond HBR Layout to a cluster spanning HRBR, Kammanahalli, Hennur, Nagawara, Thanisandra, Lingarajpura and KG Halli, with feeder roads such as Oil Mill Road and Nehru Road included. Restoration is expected after work ends, though feeder switching can stagger returns if rain slows crews or testing extends.

Bengaluru power cut today: Live status checks and helplines
For incident-specific ETAs, call the 24x7 helpline 1912, or raise and track a “No Power” complaint on the BESCOM portal or the BESCOM Mithra mobile app. The official X handle states, “All scheduled & unscheduled power interruptions will be posted here,” so monitor replies for feeder-level updates.
Bengaluru power cut today: Safety and continuity tips
Avoid using lifts near the shutdown window, and store drinking water if you rely on a reverse osmosis purifier. Unplug routers and sensitive appliances, then reconnect after supply stabilises. Keep inverter loads light and ventilated, and prefill overhead tanks. Offices should align generator shifts with the 12 pm start to reduce switchover drops.
Bengaluru power cut today: Afternoon restoration and Sep 4 watch
Most areas should see supply return after 4 pm, but testing and weather can extend feeder restarts into the evening across this HBR cluster. Check the app or 1912 around 3:45 pm for the first restoration signals, and watch @BescomHelpline later tonight for any Sep 4 planned-shutdown advisories.
