By A feeder fault has triggered power cuts in parts of Bengaluru today, according to the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company.
Kodichikanahalli is affected from 6:30 am to 10 am, and Mangamanapalya and Devarachikkanahalli face outages from 6 am to 10 am.
BESCOM identified the cause as a trip in the 66/11KV HSR MUSS F2 feeder, which now requires restoration work.
The utility has also scheduled separate maintenance outages today in Konappana Agrahara and Electronic City, between 6 am and 10 am.
Another 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 asked to charge essential devices in advance and plan their day around the outage windows.
BESCOM has advised residents to monitor its official notices, given that the HSR feeder fault is an unplanned issue rather than routine maintenance.
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.
The HSR MUSS feeder in question forms part of the network serving the HSR Layout area and neighbouring localities, and faults on such feeders can affect multiple connected substations simultaneously, as has been the case with today’s disruption.
