At 7:49 am IST on Sunday, September 20, 2026, no major planned BESCOM shutdowns are listed. Bengaluru’s daily tracker reflects official BESCOM updates. Residents should still expect ad‑hoc faults if weather or emergency repairs arise. We will monitor for additions through the day and update at midday and evening.
Where should you look if schedules change later today? BESCOM’s 24x7 helpline 1912 remains primary, but lines congest during storms. The utility also accepts complaints on WhatsApp at 9449844640. Zone‑wise WhatsApp helplines serve East, West, North and South Bengaluru. SMS options also exist. Keep both channels handy to speed registration during peak complaint surges.

BESCOM power cuts: Timing patterns to expect
Planned shutdowns, when scheduled, usually sit within office hours, often between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm. Unscheduled trips still rank among Bengaluru’s biggest pain points for high‑tension consumers. That complicates shift planning and server maintenance. Build a simple downtime playbook for lifts, pumps, and routers so backups last the workday.
Bengaluru today: BESCOM power cuts status and refresh plan
Status at 7:49 am IST: no major planned maintenance shutdowns are posted for Bengaluru today. Expect unscheduled faults to pop up, especially if showers build. Check again between 12–2 pm and 6–8 pm, when updates often land. BESCOM’s daily schedule notices typically publish a day early, but same‑day adds occur.
If power is out, register a complaint first, then note the expected restoration window. Share exact address and meter or RR details for faster triage. Avoid using lifts, manage inverter loads, and keep medical devices on reliable backup. Track your ticket on BESCOM Mithra and watch X replies for evolving ETAs before planning errands.
