The electricity board announced scheduled blackouts in several parts of Gwalior today, with outages expected to last up to five hours.
The Madhya Pradesh Power Distribution Company scheduled a planned power cut for today affecting multiple localities in Gwalior. The outage, announced early this morning, is expected to last up to five hours, depending on the area and the time of restoration.
Residents in the city centre, as well as the suburbs of Bhitarwar, Gwalior Cantonment and Dabra, have been advised to conserve electricity and postpone non‑essential usage until supply resumes. The utility cited routine maintenance of high‑voltage lines and transformer upgrades as the reason for the scheduled shutdown.
Authorities have set up helplines to address public queries and have urged hospitals, schools and critical infrastructure to make alternative arrangements. The power board will monitor the situation closely and issue updates through its official channels.
The temporary disruption is part of a broader effort to improve grid reliability and reduce unexpected outages in the region. Residents are asked to stay informed and cooperate with the utility's instructions.
The outage is expected to be lifted gradually, with the first areas regaining supply by early afternoon, followed by the remaining zones later in the evening.
