India's commercial capital Mumbai goes "powerless"

Mumbai, Sept 2 (IBNS): Owing to a power outage, a major part of Mumbai was paralysed on Tuesday morning.

The power cut happened due to a technical glitch in the Tata Power Company Ltd electricity generation unit.

To address the issue, Tata Power switched off certain feeders supplying power to some areas in Mumbai, said officials for Brihanmumbai Electric Supply & Transport Undertaking (BEST), which buys electricity from Tata Power.

Tata Power later released a statement saying, “At 09:45 hours, the power supply was affected due to tripping of Unit #5 of Trombay Power Station.”

It has been learnt that, the Unit #5 provides about 500 MW of power to south and central Mumbai, which are home to some of India's largest corporate houses.

Around 40 percent of the country’s commercial capital went dark on Tuesday.

All of south Mumbai and parts of central Mumbai faced power outage.

The company said, power cuts affected areas like Parel, Mahalaxmi, Dharavi, and Chembur.

Power outages were also witnessed in Bandra, Kurla, Santa Cruz, Ghatkopar, Tikar Nagar, Vikhroli, Saki Naka and Juhu.

Suburbs were also badly affected.
