Pandals to get electricity at domestic rate in Maharashtra

MUMBAI: Ganesh mandals across the state will get electricity connections from state power utility, MSEDCL, at residential or domestic rates to help them save on bills.

State energy minister Nitin Raut has appealed to all Ganesh sarvajanik mandals to procure electricity legally from MSEDCL and refrain from pilfering power.

Sources said that a majority of the Ganesh pandals will benefit with the concessional tariff, which could be as low as Rs 4-8/unit.

MSEDCL officials appealed to Ganesh mandals to check wirings in their pandals and ensure that they are properly insulated. In case of any untoward incident or electric fires, they can call on MSEDCL helplines 1912 or 18001023435 / 18002333435.
