Two new transmission lines between Kharghar and Vikhroli, and Kudus and Aarey Colony that are projected to go on stream from December 2023 and 2026, respectively, will help Mumbai have additional transmission corridors. This will lessen the burden of the Kalwa substation and prevent power outages from recurring, according to industrial officials.
The additional corridors will also help Mumbai source cheaper and cleaner power. Domestic customers in Mumbai currently pay tariff at an average of 4.5-6 per unit, which is much higher than the spot power available on the exchanges which is ruling at around3/unit at present.
