The Hubballi Electricity Supply Company (HESCOM) has announced that its online services will be temporarily unavailable from November 24 to 26 due to emergency technical maintenance. This means that customers will not be able to access services such as electricity bill payment and new connection applications for three days.
According to a press release from HESCOM, the online services will be unavailable from 00.01 a.m. on November 24 until 11.59 p.m. on November 26.
This maintenance work is being carried out on the web portals of all five Electricity Supply Companies (ESCOMs) in the state as part of the implementation of the Restructured Accelerated Power Development and Reform Program (R-APDRP). The aim of this program is to integrate the portals of the five ESCOMs and provide a centralized online payment system.
During this period, online services will be disrupted as data is transferred from various portals to the new integrated portal. This will affect urban electricity consumers in 29 towns across seven districts, namely Dharwad, Gadag, Vijayapura, Bagalkot, Uttara Kannada, Haveri, and Belagavi, which fall under the jurisdiction of HESCOM. The affected towns include Athani, Bagalkot, Bailhongal, Belagavi, Bhatkal, Chikkodi, Dandeli, Gadag, Gokak, Guledgudda, Haveri, Hubballi-Dharwad, Ilkal, Indi, Jamkhandi, Karwar, Kumta, Laxmeshwar, Mahalingpur, Mudhol, Nargund, Nippani, Rabakavi-Banahatti, Ramdurg, Ranebennur, Saundatti, Savanur, Sirsi, and Vijayapura.
During this maintenance period, customers are advised to make alternative arrangements for bill payment and new connection applications.
