Before you call
Why the power goes out
Transformer overload
Summer evenings push local transformers past their limit. The whole street goes dark together.
Load shedding
When the state is short of supply, DISCOMs cut feeders in rotation, often on a fixed schedule.
Storm and rain faults
Wind, fallen branches and water in junction boxes trip lines during the monsoon.
Planned maintenance
Line and substation work, usually announced a day ahead in the newspaper or on the DISCOM site.
Only your house
If neighbours have power, check your MCB, meter fuse or service cable before calling.
Power cuts every evening?
Compare inverters, batteries and emergency lights.
See backup options →Questions
How do I know if the power cut is only at my house?
Enter your pincode. If others in your area have reported a cut, the area shows red on the map. If nobody has, check your MCB and meter fuse first.
Do I need to log in to report?
No. Just your pincode and one tap. We never ask for your name or phone number.
How will I know when power is back?
As soon as someone in your area taps Power is Back, the status turns green. Each pincode page also shows the last 30 days of cuts, so you can judge how long cuts usually last.
Is this a government or DISCOM website?
No. Live Power Cut is an independent, community-driven platform. For official complaints, call 1912 or your DISCOM.
