A feeder fault has knocked out power in parts of Bengaluru today, the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company has confirmed.
Kodichikanahalli faces an outage from 6:30 am to 10 am, while Mangamanapalya and Devarachikkanahalli are affected between 6 am and 10 am.
The fault lies in the 66/11KV HSR MUSS F2 feeder, which tripped and now needs restoration work before supply resumes.
BESCOM has separately scheduled maintenance outages today in Konappana Agrahara and Electronic City, running from 6 am to 10 am.
A further outage under the Puravankara Substation jurisdiction covers Halehalli, Maragondanahalli, Kalkere Road, Byrathi Village, Kanakashree Layout and Atma Vidya Nagar.
Residents in the affected localities have been advised to charge essential devices beforehand and adjust their plans around the outage windows.
BESCOM has asked residents to keep track of its official notices, noting the HSR feeder fault is an unplanned technical issue rather than scheduled upkeep.
Electronic City, one of the areas affected by today’s separate scheduled maintenance, is home to a large concentration of IT and business parks, meaning outages there can have a wider impact on office operations than in purely residential localities.
BESCOM has previously said that scheduled maintenance outages, of the kind affecting Konappana Agrahara and the Puravankara Substation jurisdiction today, are aimed at upgrading ageing infrastructure and reducing the frequency of unplanned faults over the longer term.
Residents in Bengaluru have increasingly relied on the BESCOM Mithra mobile application and the utility’s official social media handles to track outage schedules and restoration updates in real time.
Power disruptions of this kind are a recurring feature of Bengaluru’s monsoon and maintenance seasons, with the utility periodically publishing area-wise schedules to help residents plan around expected outages.
BESCOM supplies electricity across Bengaluru and several surrounding districts, and routinely carries out both planned maintenance outages and unplanned fault repairs, with residents typically notified through the utility’s website, mobile app and local announcements.
