Bengaluru faces planned outages today, Thursday, September 17, 2026, as emergency work at the 66/11 kV Yelahanka substation triggers shutdowns from 9 am to 6 pm. Bengaluru Electricity Supply Company has flagged more than fifty localities, concentrated in Hebbal and Yelahanka subdivisions. Residents should plan lifts, water pumps, remote work, and electric vehicle charging accordingly.
The heaviest impact is in the North zone. Expect feeder-wise interruptions across Yelahanka New Town, Kogilu, Bagaluru Cross, M.S. Palya, Allalasandra, HMT Layout blocks, Doddabettahalli, and nearby apartment belts. Institutional clusters like BSF and IAF campuses are listed too. Restoration may be staggered near 6 pm as feeders are switched back progressively.
Bengaluru power cut today: division-wise windows
Today’s maintenance is centered on North Bengaluru; other city divisions are not part of the Yelahanka substation job. Advisories can change through the morning and mid-day refresh windows. BESCOM’s online portals are undergoing an upgrade until midnight today, so rely on the app and helplines for live status.
| Division/Circle | Window today | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| North (Hebbal, Yelahanka) | 9:00–18:00 | KPTCL work; 50+ localities on feeder-wise shutdown. |
| East | No notice for this event | Not linked to Yelahanka work; check feeder advisories. |
| South | No notice for this event | Monitor app and helplines for local updates. |
| West | No notice for this event | Feeder maintenance, if any, will be announced separately. |
| Rural | No notice for this event | Outside today’s scope; track circle WhatsApp lines. |
BESCOM outage list and timings
Key pockets include KMF, Allalasandra, Sharadnagar, HMT Layout blocks, Teachers Layout, RMZ Galleria, Ryan International School, and stretches along BB Road. Apartment belts near Doddabettahalli and Chikkabettahalli are named. Fill overhead tanks before 9 am, schedule elevators, and plan hotspot backups where routers lack power redundancy.
How to check live: BESCOM dashboards, app and IVRS
Use the BESCOM Mithra app for scheduled or unscheduled outage alerts, complaint registration, and restoration tracking. Call the 24x7 helpline 1912, and use division WhatsApp numbers for faster escalation. Track complaint status on the consumer dashboard. If portals seem slow during the upgrade, keep the app notifications on and save your complaint ID.
