Bengaluru Power Cut on June 25: Several parts of Bengaluru are likely to face power cuts on Thursday as Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL) carries out maintenance work at multiple 66/11 kV stations and power supply infrastructure across the city.
The power shutdown is scheduled between 10 am and 5 pm in some areas, while in others it will be from 10 am to 4 pm, depending on the sub-station and maintenance work being taken up. Officials said the interruption is necessary to carry out emergency and routine maintenance at key substations.

BESCOM Power Cut Survival Guide
Knowing the exact hours BESCOM is pulling the plug gives you the power to actively outsmart the system.
Instead of competing for a tiny table at a crowded, noisy cafe, gather 2 or 3 WFH friends in your area who are facing the same cut.
Pool your money and use platforms like Breather, Awfis, or WeWork On-Demand to book a private 4-person meeting room or private office booth for just the 5-hour duration of the cut. This way, it splits the cost to practically nothing, guarantees you private high-speed enterprise Wi-Fi, and gives you actual desk space to take calls without hearing a barista steaming milk in the background.
Or If you want the absolute best way to handle this without ever leaving your house, buy a dedicated 12V Router UPS (brands like Cuzor or Oakter cost around ₹1,000-₹1,500). It sits between your wall outlet and your Wi-Fi router.
When BESCOM shuts down the power grid, your router doesn’t even blink; it automatically draws from the UPS battery. Because a router uses very little power, these tiny boxes easily keep your home Wi-Fi alive for 4 to 6 hours-allowing you to work from your own desk in peace.
If you don’t want to spend a single rupee but need air conditioning and solid cell reception, pack your fully-charged setup and head to a major mall (like Phoenix Marketcity, Nexus Koramangala, or Orion).
