How to escalate a PGVCL complaint

How to check PGVCL's official shutdown list

PGVCL publishes a daily list of planned shutdowns, feeder by feeder, on its own site. We do not copy it automatically, so check it there: it is the official list.

  1. Open PGVCL's Power Shut Down Details page (linked as Shutdown/Outages on pgvcl.com). PGVCL planned shutdowns
  2. Type "RAJKOT CITY" in the Search box. The city is Rajkot City Circle; areas outside it may be under Rajkot Rural Circle.
  3. Each row gives the division, subdivision, substation, feeder, the shutdown date, the hours from and to, and the affected area.
  4. If your area is not listed and the power is out, call PGVCL on 19122 or 1800 233 155333, or send a WhatsApp complaint to 95120 19122.

Complaint not fixed? How to escalate

Every distribution licensee in India must run a Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum, and every state has an Electricity Ombudsman above it. Work up the ladder; keep your complaint number from step one.

If the supply was out longer than your state allows, the discom may owe you compensation. What you can claim, and how.

Why does the next street have power and you don't?

In most Indian cities your supply comes off a feeder shared with a few neighbouring areas. When a transformer overheats in summer, the discom often switches areas off in turn to let it cool — so your neighbour's lights come back while yours go out. Complaining moves the cut; it doesn't end it. Knowing this changes what you should do.

Common questions

Is there a power cut in Rajkot today?

The top of this page shows outages that residents of Rajkot reported in the last 24 hours, and any shutdown the electricity company has announced. No reports does not prove the supply is on. If your power is out, report it here and call PGVCL.

How do I check for a power cut in my area?

Look here for reports near you and for announced shutdowns, check your electricity company's app or website for planned maintenance, or call its helpline with your consumer number: they can tell you whether your feeder is down.

Why is there a power cut in my area today?

Usually one of three things: maintenance the company announced in advance, a fault on your feeder or transformer, or load shedding when demand is higher than supply. If the next street has power and you don't, you are probably on a different feeder.

Where do I complain about a power cut in Rajkot?

Call PGVCL on 19122, or dial 1912. Write down the complaint number they give you: if the supply isn't restored in time, that number is what you take to the CGRF.
