KPDCL Schedules Power Cuts Across Kashmir Amid Supply Constraints

Kashmir Power Development Corporation Limited (KPDCL) issued a notice that power will be curtailed in a series of scheduled outages across the Kashmir valley. The utility said the cuts are necessary to align electricity supply with prevailing demand and to prevent overload of the grid.
The announcement did not specify exact dates or duration for each cut, but indicated that the schedule will be communicated to consumers in the coming days. KPDCL urged households, commercial establishments and industrial units to plan accordingly and conserve energy during the blackout periods.
Officials highlighted that the measures are a response to limited generation capacity and seasonal load spikes. They assured that restoration will follow the predefined schedule and that the corporation is working to minimize inconvenience.
The power cuts are expected to affect major towns and remote villages alike, underscoring the broader challenge of meeting electricity needs in the region during peak consumption periods.
KPDCL has asked the public to stay informed through its official channels and to report any prolonged outages to the helpline provided.
