People in various parts of Delhi may experience power outages on Saturday, June 6, as electricity distribution companies carry out routine maintenance and network upgrade work on power supply maintenance and network upgrades. Temporary shutdowns are planned to enhance power supply reliability and build up power infrastructure ahead of the peak summer demand season. Similar maintenance-related outages have been announced periodically by TPDDL and BRPL across different parts of the national capital.
According to available schedules and recent outage patterns, localities in North, North-West, South and West Delhi are likely to see temporary electricity disruptions at different times during the day. The outages are expected to be localized and time-bound, and power supply will be restored after the maintenance work is complete.
In North and North-West Delhi areas like Bawana, Narela, Badli, Mangolpuri, Siraspur and nearby industrial sectors may experience power cuts in the morning and midday hours. In past schedules issued by TPDDL, outages were expected between 6:00 AM and 3:00 PM in different blocks and sectors depending on the maintenance requirements.
Several other parts of South Delhi are also expected to be affected. Localities such as Kalkaji, Nehru Enclave, Hauz Khas, Jia Sarai, Chhatarpur, Tigri Colony, Sangam Vihar have also had maintenance shutdowns. Residents in these areas will experience short interruptions of one to three hours.
West and South-West Delhi will also experience temporary outages at late morning and afternoon in Uttam Nagar, Vikaspuri, Dwarka, Najafgarh, Mohan Garden, Palam, Raj Nagar and Sitapuri.
