Frequently asked questions about Kanchipuram power cuts
Does Kanchipuram district have a power cut scheduled right now?
The live list above reflects TNPDCL's current published notices for Kanchipuram, updated as new ones come in. If Sriperumbudur or your specific street isn't listed, nothing is currently scheduled there.
What time does power come back in Kanchipuram?
Planned maintenance shutdowns in Kanchipuram normally run from 09:00 to 14:00 or 10:00 to 15:00, and supply is restored by the stated end time. Fault restoration depends on the cause, typically 1–4 hours.
What's the TNPDCL complaint number for Kanchipuram district?
1912 is the statewide toll-free number, active 24x7 across Kanchipuram, Sriperumbudur and every other district. The call centre (94987 94987) and WhatsApp (94458 50811) are also available if the line is busy.
Can I calculate my power bill for Kanchipuram online?
Yes — this site's bill calculator applies current TNPDCL domestic tariff slabs to your bimonthly unit consumption, giving an estimate for Kanchipuram district or anywhere else in Tamil Nadu.
Are power cuts worse in Kanchipuram during the monsoon?
Yes — between October and December, storm-related faults along the coast near Kanchipuram town and Sriperumbudur are more common than scheduled maintenance shutdowns. These aren't planned in advance, so they won't appear on this page until TNPDCL publishes an update; if your supply is off without a notice, treat it as a fault and call 1912.
Do industrial areas in Kanchipuram get separate shutdown notices from residential areas?
Often, yes. Kanchipuram district's HT (high-tension) industrial feeders serving silk-weaving and an auto-ancillary SIPCOT corridor are usually maintained on a different schedule than the LT feeders supplying homes in Kanchipuram town and Sriperumbudur, so a notice for one doesn't always mean the other is affected.
Do festivals in Kanchipuram affect the power supply?
Local transformers near Kanchipuram town can come under extra load during major festival crowds, which occasionally causes short unplanned trips on top of any scheduled maintenance. TNPDCL generally avoids planning shutdowns during known festival dates where possible.
