TANGEDCO shutdown timings and live status
The declared window is 9 am to 2 pm. “Supply will be resumed before 2 pm, if the works are completed.” If power remains off past the window, treat it as a fault unrelated to the scheduled job and seek a ticketed update. Newsrooms have flagged the same five‑hour plan for today’s Chennai pockets.
How to check TANGEDCO feeder status, report and track
For official status, use the Consumer Complaint Management System portal to register and track complaints, or use the TNEB Mobile App after linking your service number. Dial 1912 for the toll‑free line, or Minnagam’s 24×7 helpline 94987 94987 for updates. Quote your consumer number for rapid lookup and SMS acknowledgements.
Avoid elevator use during the maintenance window, and switch off heavy appliances before 9 am. Keep phones, Wi‑Fi routers, and medical devices charged, and ventilate inverter batteries to prevent heat buildup. If you rely on a generator, use a proper changeover switch. Recheck official channels around noon for any added localities or revised timings for tomorrow, October 1, if issued.
