Power shutdown in multiple Chennai areas on 6 October
Power supply will be suspended in parts of Chennai on Tuesday, 6 October, from 9 am to 2 pm for maintenance work, according to a Tangedco announcement. The affected areas include Tiruverkadu, Medavakkam, Saidapet, West Tambaram, East Tambaram and Kundrathur.
In Tiruverkadu, supply will be cut on Sivan Koil Road, Eswaran Nagar, Selvaganapathy Nagar and several other streets. Medavakkam will see shutdowns on Vellakkal Main Road, Ancheneya Koil Street and parts of Velachery Main Road.
Saidapet will be affected on Tod Hunter Nagar, Jones Road, part of Anna Salai and around 40 other locations. West Tambaram, East Tambaram and Kundrathur will also face outages. Supply will be restored before 2 pm if work finishes early.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The planned shutdowns cover dozens of residential and commercial streets across six Chennai zones, affecting thousands of households and businesses for five hours on a working Tuesday. Tangedco has not specified the exact nature of the maintenance, leaving residents to prepare without clarity on whether the work addresses recurring faults or is routine. The utility's standard caveat that supply may resume earlier offers little certainty for those reliant on power for work or medical needs. Residents in the named streets should arrange backup power or plan around the 9 am to 2 pm window on 6 October.
