Power cuts in Mayiladuthurai: what to expect
Mayiladuthurai district was carved out more recently and covers the coastal delta stretch including Sirkazhi and Tharangambadi. It still shares much of its grid infrastructure with the district it split from, so restoration crews and section offices covering Mayiladuthurai town may be listed under the older district name in some official records.
Before a scheduled shutdown in Mayiladuthurai
- Charge phones, inverter batteries and power banks the night before.
- Keep the 1912 helpline saved and your service connection number handy — it speeds up any fault report from Mayiladuthurai town or nearby.

Frequently asked questions about Mayiladuthurai power cuts
Is my area in Mayiladuthurai affected by today's shutdown?
Use the search box above to check your specific locality within Mayiladuthurai district, from Sirkazhi to the smaller surrounding villages. TNPDCL publishes planned shutdowns area-wise, so a cut in one part of the district doesn't necessarily affect the rest.
When will my power be restored in Mayiladuthurai?
For a planned shutdown, check the end time listed on the notice for your area of Mayiladuthurai district — TNPDCL usually restores supply on schedule unless work overruns. For an unreported fault, call 1912 for an estimate.
What's the TNPDCL complaint number for Mayiladuthurai district?
1912 is the statewide toll-free number, active 24x7 across Mayiladuthurai, Sirkazhi and every other district. The call centre (94987 94987) and WhatsApp (94458 50811) are also available if the line is busy.
Is the tariff different for industrial areas near Sirkazhi?
Domestic household rates are the same statewide slabs used across Mayiladuthurai district. Commercial or industrial connections near Sirkazhi follow a separate tariff category not covered by this domestic calculator.
Are power cuts worse in Mayiladuthurai during the monsoon?
Yes — between October and December, storm-related faults along the coast near Mayiladuthurai town and Sirkazhi 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.
Why does Mayiladuthurai sometimes show two shutdown times for the same area?
That's usually the difference between the agricultural feeder schedule and the domestic household schedule — TNPDCL runs them separately in Mayiladuthurai because paddy cultivation and fishing needs pump-set power at different hours than homes do.
Was Mayiladuthurai always its own district?
No — Mayiladuthurai was created out of Nagapattinam (2020). Some older records, maps and even a few TNPDCL section office listings may still reference the parent district, so it's worth checking there too if you can't find a notice for your area under Mayiladuthurai.
