For any emergency in Bengaluru (Bangalore), the primary number to dial is 112, the all-in-one emergency helpline for police, fire, and medical assistance.
- General Emergency: 112 (Single number for Police, Fire, and Ambulance).
- Police: 100 or 112.

Plug and Socket Types:
Bengaluru uses three primary plug types:
Type C: Two round pins (standard European style).
Type D: Three round pins in a triangular pattern (mostly for low-power devices like lamps or chargers).
Type M: Three round pins in a triangular pattern, similar to Type D but larger (used for high-power appliances like ACs or geysers).
Compatibility for Travelers:
From Europe/UK/Australia: Most of your devices will match the 230V standard. You will likely only need a plug adapter to fit the local sockets.
From USA/Canada: Most North American devices run on 120V. Unless your device is “Dual Voltage” (labeled INPUT: 100-240V), you will need a voltage converter or transformer to avoid damaging your electronics.
Universal Chargers: Modern laptops, phones, and camera chargers are typically dual voltage and only require a physical plug adapter.
Local Power Stability
The Bengaluru Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM) manages the local grid. While the supply is generally stable, power fluctuations can occur, so using a surge protector or a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is recommended for sensitive desktop computers or expensive electronics.
