Power supply agencies such as BESCOM and Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL) schedule power cuts often in the tech hub owing to various pending projects, including routine maintenance tasks undertaken by them. These scheduled disruptions are more often observed during the weekends when the grid load is lighter as several employees log off from work.
