Mumbai Power Cut Highlights: After several parts of Mumbai suffered a massive power outage on Monday morning, Tata Power released a statement explaining the reasons for the power outage and expressed regret for the inconvenience caused to the customers. The company stated that the electricity failure started at 10 am in the morning due to tripping of MSETCL’s 400 KV transmission system at Kalwa which supplies to Mumbai and adjoining areas.
Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Monday took serious cognisance of the power outage in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and ordered an immediate probe into it.
State Energy Minister Nitin Raut said the reasons behind the technical snag that caused power failure in parts of the MMR will be probed once the electricity supply is restored.
