As someone who lives in an Indian metro, yes it definitely is that bad. Extremely unreliable and pops up at the hint of rain.

The only exception to this is Mumbai.

Edit: I misread your comment as "definitely NOT that bad". Turns out we are saying the same thing.

Well, depends on the Metro. Chennai is notorious for power cuts. Delhi is supposed to be better - but I used to live in Noida (Part of NCR, but technically UP and not Delhi) and the power cuts were ridiculous - around 60-90 minutes without power every day (I was fortunate enough to have backup power where I stayed).

My small hometown that was approx 25km outside Cochin in Kerala had far more reliable power supply. The point I'm trying to make - power supply varies greatly, and being a "tier 1 metro" does not always mean more reliable power than some obscure town you've never heard of.
