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.

The amount of people living in tier 1,2,3 cities should still be less than people living in villages I think. Anyways my village still continues to get abysmal electricity.

Bangalore (supposedly a tier-1 city) has regular power cuts throughout the year. Apartment residents don't notice this thanks to the diesel generator.

That’s hard to believe, there are still power cuts (even if for 1-2 hours max) in summers.
Depends on the particular states. Some states have the necessary economic resources to buy power at peak hours when necessary.
Get 24/7 electricity from what source? The state run power producers don’t provide this in many tier 2 cities (pick some names and check). I strongly doubt if all tier 1 cities (except probably Mumbai) get power 24/7 either.

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.

Not really. There are way too many power cuts in Bengaluru.
