Mumbai will be able to meet its increasing power demand as an additional 1,000 megawatts of power can be brought from outside without impacting its insufficient transmission network through the 400 KV Khargar-Vikhroli line that has integrated the city with the national grid. This is the city’s first such double-circuit connection and it has been operational since Monday.
Adani Energy Solutions Limited (AESL) announced the commission on Monday, saying that the line was languishing for more than a decade and the work was awarded in 2021 through the bidding process.
