Scheduled Power Cut In Pune Today (May 14)

Pune: Residents across Sinhagad Road and surrounding areas will face a prolonged six-hour power shutdown on Wednesday, 14 May 2026, as Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) carries out repair and maintenance work.

The outage is scheduled from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM and is linked to essential maintenance tasks being undertaken by Mahatransco at several substations.
