AVVNL Scheduled Power Cut on October 10: Affected Feeders, Timings & Full List of Areas in Udaipur

The Ajmer Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (AVVNL) has notified an AVVNL scheduled power cut on October 10, 2026, across major industrial, institutional, and residential zones in Udaipur. The planned 7-hour electricity shutdown will run from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM to facilitate urgent 33KV/11KV grid maintenance, power transformer load-balancing, and pre-winter line reinforcement across the Dakan Kotda and Kaladwas Grid Sub-Stations (GSS).

According to technical circulars issued by AVVNL Udaipur Circle, electricity supply will remain temporarily suspended to protect maintenance personnel executing pole replacements, jumper repairs, and high-tension corridor clearances. Industrial units in the RIICO Kaladwas zone and residents across over two dozen southern localities are advised to make advance arrangements.

1. Official AVVNL Shutdown Notice: Objectives and Timings

AVVNL engineering authorities confirmed that the scheduled power cut on Saturday, October 10, is part of comprehensive pre-winter grid strengthening. Over recent weeks, fluctuating loads and post-monsoon vegetation growth near overhead 33KV and 11KV lines have necessitated thorough physical inspection and line pruning.

• Date of Shutdown: Saturday, October 10, 2026 (10 अक्टूबर 2026, शनिवार)
• Outage Duration: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (7 continuous hours)
• Core Operations: Transformer oil testing, insulator replacement, loose jumper repairs, tree branch trimming along high-voltage corridors, and conductor tensioning.
• Restoration Protocol: Power will be restored progressively across individual feeders starting at 5:00 PM following mandatory line-clearance certificates.

This grid maintenance coincides with other city utility adjustments detailed in our Udaipur news updates today and municipal civic briefing.

2. Dakan Kotda GSS: Complete List of Affected Localities

The shutdown under the Dakan Kotda Grid Sub-Station covers a sprawling mix of residential colonies, rural habitations, educational complexes, and commercial installations in southern Udaipur:

• Industrial Planning: Small-scale industrial units and cold storage facilities in RIICO Kaladwas should reschedule production batches and maintain diesel reserves for generator units.
• Electronics Safety: Unplug sensitive electronic equipment, computers, and refrigeration units prior to 10:00 AM to prevent damage from transient voltage surges upon re-energization.
