India’s financial capital Mumbai is stalled due to a major power cut . A blackout of over 2 hours was reported in Mumbai on Monday with residents taking to Twitter to report power cut across the city, Navi Mumbai and Thane. Multiple tripping of lines and transformer (Kalwa-Padghe and Khargar ICTs) affected 360 MW supply in the city and suburbs. Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BSET) Electricity declared on Twitter and said the electric supply is interrupted due to TATAs incoming electric supply failure. “Inconvenience is regretted,” it added.
Please bear with us as we await Maharashtra grid for restoring our supply. We will keep you posted!
