Power cut everyday for about 1-2hrs max. But we have free Generator Backup so I can run PC/laptop but not AC

there is no problem if it is continuous. what hurts is the frequent power cuts say one after 30 minutes or so.

In East Delhi here, power was a big problem a decade back. But things have improved a lot now. In fact in last 3-4 yrs, I have hardly faced any downtime leaving occasional accidental cuts for few minutes.

BUT, here I am today writing this post in a powercut. Power is not back since 4 hours now.

I hope its one of the "accidental" occasions, and won't be a regular thing.

Finally it came back somewhere around midnight, when people of delhi finally decided not to wait for power to sleep.
Thankfully temperature was down cause of early showers. So most people didn't even notice when power came back. Just a sign of relief when fans started to roll.

Street lights off, Erratic genset backup, Traffic jams all over the city

Now I cannot download BF3 multiplayer. Need to exhaust my next month's FUP for it.


EDIT : Power restored after a sweaty 50 hours.

Here at my place we have two major power options, one of Jharkhand's State Board and another of BCCL for BCCL Company's Houses. Mine is the later one.

For the last 1 month since I'm back at home, I see power cuts from 6-7am and 9-10pm daily including a half hour at daytime. Sometimes it more than that

The situation seems ok in Hyderabad after some rains

Here there are no scheduled power cuts, but don't expect the power to be on continuously for more than 3 hours. Erratic power cuts are common which may last from 1-2 mins or upto 4 hours. On an average we get 12-14 hours electricity a day. Though we do have 24 hours power supply inside the IIT campus.
I remember during my childhood, when Roorkee was still in UP, we had power cuts from 5am-9am, then 11am-3pm, then 7pm-10pm. As posted already by Sujay, if the transformer has gone kaput, don't expect it to be rectified for at least a week. Now, it is much better, at least it gets repaired within 2 days.
What really irritates is the 2 min power-cut which crops up at random times. By the time you move on to do some other work, which is not so power hungry(which can be accomplished through inverter), the power comes again prompting you to go back. By the time you start, the power will again troll you.

Back in Palakkad(Kerala), there is a schedule for power-cut. Power goes off for 1 hour each day. Its divided colony-wise ie, in week 1 Colony A will have power cut from 6-7pm, colony B will have from 7-8 pm and so an, until the next week when the timings get inverted.
