Power supply was restored in most parts of Mumbai after it suffered a power failure at around 10 am on Monday. Train services came to a halt, homes and businesses were without electricity and people sweltered in humid heat as a grid failure resulted in massive power outages across Mumbai Monday morning.
The reason behind
Electric supply in Mumbai was interrupted due to Tata’s incoming electric supply failure, confirmed Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport. Tata Power, which is into both generation and distribution, attributed the outage to a simultaneous substation tripping at 1010 hrs at state-run transmission company MSETCL’s two substations in the suburbs of Kalwa and Kharghar. Maintenance work was on in MSETCL’s 400 kv Kalwa-Padgha line when the technical fault happened in circuit number 2, which was taking the entire load at the time as circuit 1 was shut.
