Power Cut Guides
Practical guides for checking, reporting and understanding electricity outages in India.
How to check a power cut in your area
Search your six-digit pincode and review the current status, recent reports, historical activity and nearby pincodes. For important or safety-related situations, confirm information with the official electricity provider.
How to report an outage
Use Report Outage on the relevant page when electricity is unavailable. Accurate pincode information and a current report help other users understand local conditions.
Planned and unexpected interruptions
Scheduled maintenance should be checked against the electricity provider’s official planned-outage information. PowerCut.Live community reports can provide additional local context.
Electrical safety
Do not touch fallen wires, damaged electrical equipment or electrical installations in flooded areas. For dangerous electrical situations, contact the appropriate official emergency or electricity-service channel.
When power returns
Use Power Back on the relevant page when electricity has been restored. A restoration report helps other users interpret the current local signal.
