TANGEDCO planned power cuts: outage windows and verification steps
Confirm live status before you commute. Use TANGEDCO’s Customer Care Management System portal, then choose the public dashboard link. If lines are busy, call the 24x7 helpline 1912 and note your complaint number. City trackers sometimes display “no shutdown,” while local notices list pockets, so cross‑verify both sources for your street.
| Area | Typical window | Source tag |
|---|---|---|
| Kotturpuram | 9 am–2 pm | Kotturpuram substation/feeder |
| Keelkattalai | 9 am–2 pm | Keelkattalai substation/feeder |
| Mangadu | 9 am–2 pm | Mangadu substation/feeder |
TANGEDCO planned power cuts: safety, restoration and rain‑delay watch
Plan for elevators, water purifiers, routers and inverters to be offline during the window. Charge phones and schedule pumping or ironing outside the block. If thunderstorms develop, maintenance crews may slow work for safety, delaying restoration beyond 2 pm. IMD guidance indicates thunderstorms remain possible around Chennai this weekend, so allow buffer time.
For live restoration updates, reopen the CCMS portal and refresh your complaint card after registering. Ask your section office for the feeder name that serves your street; it speeds tracking. If supply is not back by 2:30 pm, call 1912 with your complaint ID and request an estimated restoration time. Keep the SMS acknowledgement for follow‑ups.
Expect early advisories for Sunday, September 6, to surface by this evening if maintenance continues. Local outlets that routinely post feeder‑wise lists, alongside the CCMS dashboard, will update windows that usually run 9 am to 2 pm. Check again after 7 pm for any fresh pockets added or cancellations due to weather.
