Bescom’s conversion of overhead power cables to underground nears finish line
Bengaluru may experience fewer power disruptions this monsoon, bringing relief to its citizens as Bescom reaches the final stages of putting overhead cables underground.
As it nears the final stages of the project four years after it began work, officials already say that disruptions have reduced.
The power company said that out of the 7,137 km of High Tension (HT) lines in the city, 6,769 km have been moved underground. This apart, 5,668 km out of 5,957 km of Low Tension (LT) lines have also been converted to Aerial Bundled (AB) cables.
