According to the electricity provider, power supply in the affected areas will be temporarily suspended between 8am and 6pm. However, the duration of each outage will vary depending on the maintenance work required on individual feeders.
K-Electric said the planned interruptions are part of its regular maintenance programme, which is aimed at improving the reliability, stability and overall performance of Karachi’s electricity distribution network.
The utility clarified that these scheduled outages are separate from unplanned power disruptions caused by technical issues, tripping, equipment faults or excessive system load.
Residents and businesses connected to the affected feeders have been advised to check the relevant outage schedules and make necessary arrangements in advance to minimise inconvenience.
Karachi Areas Facing Scheduled Outages
Consumers connected to any of the 49 feeders undergoing maintenance on August 29 may experience temporary electricity interruptions during their respective maintenance windows.
K-Electric has urged residents in the affected localities to plan essential electricity-dependent activities ahead of the scheduled shutdowns and make alternative arrangements where necessary.

How to Check Your Feeder
Not sure which feeder serves your area? You can identify it two ways:
1. Check your K-Electric bill – the feeder name is printed near your account details.
2. Use the K-Electric mobile app or website – enter your account number to see your feeder name and any active outage alerts.
Read our full guide: How to check your area feeder using K-Electric’s bill or mobile app
You can also check real-time feeder-wise outage status anytime on our live power outage tracker
If Your Area Is Affected
- Charge phones, laptops, and any backup devices ahead of the scheduled window.
- If you rely on an electric water pump, fill storage tanks before the outage begins.
- Avoid opening fridges/freezers unnecessarily during the outage to keep food cold longer.
Power should restore automatically at the listed end time – if it doesn’t come back within an hour of the scheduled end, that likely indicates a separate fault, not the planned maintenance.
How to Report a Problem
If your power doesn’t restore after the scheduled window, or you notice an issue not related to today’s listed maintenance, you can reach K-Electric through:
Follow the Times of Karachi channel on WhatsApp
- Helpline: 118
- KE app or website complaint portal
- WhatsApp: K-Electric’s official WhatsApp support channel
