Transmission lines in Pune to be repaired: MSETCL

THE MAHARASHTRA State Electricity Transmission Company would prepare a detailed scheme for the repair and renovation of the interconnected transmission lines from the extra high voltage substations at Lonikand, Chakan and Talegaon which are more than 45-50 years old, said Anil Kolap, Director Operations, MSETCL. He visited Pune on Thursday to take a review of the situation following the power outage in the city that lasted 6 to 8 hours.

“We will also have to replace some insulators that are used in the transmission lines apart from taking up a thorough periodic routine wash using soap water or if required, chemicals will be used,” Kolap said.
