Residents and businesses in the affected areas have been advised to make necessary arrangements in advance. TANGEDCO has urged people to charge essential devices, store adequate water and plan industrial or commercial activities accordingly. Hospitals and other critical service providers in the zone have been alerted to ensure uninterrupted backup power during the maintenance window.

People have also been advised not to use elevators close to the shutdown time to prevent getting stranded.

The power utility has further assured that supply will be restored earlier than the scheduled 5:00 p.m. deadline if the maintenance works are completed ahead of time.

This is part of TANGEDCO’s broader maintenance drive across Chennai, where substations are being periodically serviced to enhance stability and meet the city’s rising power demand.
