According to the Electricity (Rights of Consumers) Rules, 2020, even in case of unplanned outages, it is the duty of the distribution licensee to communicate immediately to the consumers about the outage and the estimated time to restore it by the rules, Discoms are obliged to monitor and restore outages.

In the case of unscheduled disruptions, customers are notified about the issue and the time it will take for the company to rectify it.
