Bengaluru schedules power outage in several areas for emergency maintenance

Bengaluru will face a planned power interruption on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in several areas while the Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited carries out emergency maintenance.

The outage notice says the work is tied to the 66/11KV RBI Layout and Adugodi substations. The interruption is being described as a scheduled shutdown, not an unplanned fault.

What the notice says

Times of India published the advisory on Monday evening, June 22, for the following day’s shutdown window. The reported notice says the maintenance is needed to keep the grid operating safely.

A separate Bengaluru shutdown notice published on June 21 also said some areas would see scheduled interruptions on June 22 and June 23. Together, the notices point to a period of maintenance-related supply cuts across parts of the city.

What readers should know

The outage is expected to affect households, offices, and local businesses during daytime hours, when electricity use is often highest. Residents and businesses in the affected areas should plan for a six-hour interruption and check for any official updates from BESCOM or KPTCL.

The exact locality list was not available in the reporting reviewed for this story. If the utility publishes a fuller advisory, it may clarify which neighborhoods are included and whether the timing changes.

Bengaluru has seen repeated maintenance-related shutdowns in recent months, reflecting ongoing grid servicing work rather than a broader citywide supply failure.
