On May 31, 2026, a scheduled power outage is expected to occur in Hosapete, with the city experiencing a disruption in its electricity supply. The power outage is scheduled to take place from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and is a result of maintenance work being undertaken by GESCOM at the 33/11 KV power distribution center in the Vijayanagara district, where Hosapete is located.
The maintenance work is aimed at improving the reliability and efficiency of the power distribution network, and electricity supply will remain suspended for nine hours to facilitate essential maintenance and repair works. According to GESCOM officials, several areas connected to the affected 11 KV feeders and distribution lines will remain without power until 6:00 PM, after which supply is expected to be restored upon successful completion of the maintenance work. The department has requested consumers to make necessary arrangements in advance and cooperate during the maintenance period.
The power outage in Hosapete is a notable event, given the city’s location in the Ballari district of Karnataka, an area with significant industrial and economic activity. The fact that the power outage was scheduled suggests that efforts are being made to minimize disruptions caused by the outage, and residents of Hosapete and surrounding localities have been informed in advance to make necessary arrangements. Further details about the power outage, including its impact on the city and its residents, are available, and the situation is being monitored to ensure a smooth restoration of power supply.
