Bengaluru's utilities are managed by state and city agencies. Due to rapid expansion, these systems are continuously being upgraded to meet high demand.
* **Electricity:** Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited (BESCOM) handles power distribution. Outages can occur, especially during heavy monsoons, leading many apartments and businesses to maintain backup generators. * **Water & Sewage:** The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) manages water distribution, primarily drawn from the Kaveri River. Many peripheral tech corridors still rely on borewells and private water tankers. * **Waste Management:** The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) is responsible for solid waste management. The city has a strict two-bin (wet and dry) segregation at source mandate, though enforcement varies. * **Gas:** GAIL Gas Limited provides piped natural gas (PNG) to several residential and commercial areas, gradually replacing traditional LPG cylinders.
