The planned shutdowns will take place on Saturday and Sunday, with power supply expected to be suspended from early morning until evening in several areas. Why Power Supply Is Being InterruptedAccording to officials, the outages are part of a broader infrastructure-strengthening drive aimed at preparing the power network for the high demand expected during the summer months. Authorities said these upgrades are necessary to reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns, improve load-handling capacity, and ensure more consistent electricity supply during peak usage periods. Bengaluru Areas Likely To Be AffectedSeveral localities in Bengaluru’s outskirts are expected to face power cuts during the maintenance window. Households are encouraged to fully charge essential devices such as mobile phones, laptops, and power banks in advance.
