On November 12, electricity supply will be suspended for four to six hours in about 40 areas of Bhopal, as announced by local authorities.
The power utility has scheduled a planned load‑shedding exercise for today, November 12, affecting roughly 40 neighbourhoods across Bhopal. Residents in the identified zones can expect electricity to be switched off for a period ranging between four and six hours, depending on the local grid load.
The outage is part of a broader effort to balance supply and demand during peak consumption hours. Officials have advised households and businesses to conserve energy, postpone non‑essential use of appliances, and keep essential devices such as refrigerators on backup power where possible.
Authorities have not indicated any safety concerns, but have urged the public to stay informed through local news channels and the utility’s official communications. The schedule will be reviewed continuously, and any changes will be communicated promptly.
The announcement was reported by the regional news portal Udaipur Kiran, which cited the power department’s notice. No further details on the exact start and end times for each area were released at the time of reporting.
