Chennai’s planned maintenance power cuts for Sunday, September 6, show a limited footprint. The only outage officially listed for the metro region is in Tambaram. It covers the MEPZ SEZ industrial zone from 9 am to 2 pm. Officials add, “Supply will be resumed before 2 pm, if works complete.” Core Chennai circles show no planned shutdowns as of 9:30 am. Always verify status before using lifts or critical equipment.
Shutdowns typically run between 9 am and 2 pm for maintenance crews. Longer windows are sometimes used, depending on feeder load and complexity. Plan RO water, inverter charge, and Wi‑Fi router backups in advance. Avoid lift trips near start or end of the cut. Rain or strong wind can delay work or force rescheduling. TANGEDCO often restores early when tasks finish ahead of schedule.

Industrial units should stagger loads to avoid sudden surges when supply resumes.
How to verify today’s TANGEDCO outage status

Expect feeders to return progressively once work clears safety checks. If showers build over Tambaram or GST Road, allow extra time for crews.

If in doubt, call the helpline and quote your service number.
