Chennai faces scheduled outages today, Saturday, September 26, 2026, as TANGEDCO performs maintenance. Power will be cut between 9 am and 2 pm in select pockets. Restoration may occur earlier if crews finish sooner. Confirmed clusters include Taramani and Kundrathur, covering institutes and busy residential streets. Plan errands, lifts, and water pumping around these windows.
These cuts focus on sub‑stations and feeders needing inspection, breaker service, and line pruning. The five‑hour window is standard, though feeder timings may vary slightly. Advisories usually post in the morning, with a noon refresh if schedules expand. Check again before leaving for work, classes, deliveries, or hospital appointments in affected corridors.
