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.
