Now days, you can get 24x7 electricity in tier 1, 2 & 3 cities. I am not sure about villages.
Our country is almost power surplus nation now.
Bangalore (supposedly a tier-1 city) has regular power cuts throughout the year. Apartment residents don't notice this thanks to the diesel generator.
Power is cut during summers, during rains, and at other times very regularly. There are plenty of reasons and excuses for that to be happening.
