Bengaluru city is likely to witness scheduled power outages for most of this week amid a sharp fall in electricity production. Power supply companies including the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM) and the Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL) have undertaken several maintenance projects as well, owing to outages in some areas.
These works consist of renovation, modernisation, DTC structure maintenance, line maintenance, shifting cables from overhead to underground, ring main unit maintenance, tree trimming, Jalasiri 24×7 water supply work, tightening of jumps, replacement of deteriorated poles, underground cable damage rectification, straightening of slanted poles, among many others.
Most of these outages are expected to occur between 10 am and 4 pm, however, some works may be completed earlier.
