Chennai Power Cut On Sept 29, 2025: Chennai will face a temporary power suspension in select localities on Monday, September 29, 2025, as the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (TANGEDCO) undertakes essential maintenance work. The outage will last from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, though officials have indicated that supply may be restored earlier if the tasks are completed ahead of schedule.
The planned shutdown is part of routine preventive measures aimed at ensuring the long-term reliability of electricity distribution. Engineers use these windows to service transformers, inspect feeder lines, and upgrade infrastructure to reduce the likelihood of sudden breakdowns. Authorities explained that while the inconvenience of daytime outages is unavoidable, the maintenance is necessary to prevent more serious disruptions later.

What To Do During Power Cut
