According to the power utility, electricity supply will be suspended in several areas for varying periods between 8am and 6pm, depending on the maintenance schedule.
K-Electric said the planned outages are intended to improve the efficiency, stability and reliability of Karachi’s power distribution network.
The utility clarified that these scheduled shutdowns are part of routine maintenance and are separate from unplanned outages caused by technical faults, tripping or system overloads.
Residents in affected areas have been advised to take note of the scheduled outage timings and make the necessary arrangements in advance.

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
