Power outage hits several parts of Mumbai

MUMBAI: Power outage hit several parts of the city, including offices and residential premises in the city, due to tripping of a power generation unit on Tuesday morning.

Sources said that Unit 5 of Tata Power Company's generating station at Trombay, supplying 500 MW power to Mumbai had tripped in the morning.

"As a result Tata Power Company switched off certain feeders supplying power to Sewree, Dadar and Mahalaxmi area. This resulted in loadshedding, inconveniencing several citizens," sources said.

Tata Power said the tripping of a unit at one of its power stations in Mumbai reduced the supply at 09.45am (0415 GMT) to various central and suburban parts of the city, with the problem yet to be resolved by early afternoon.

"We are working towards an early resolution and will ensure power supply to these areas at the earliest," an emailed statement said.

"We would like to reiterate Tata Power's commitment to providing reliable and 24X7 quality power to the city of Mumbai."
The power cuts in Mumbai come amid concerns about wider blackouts in India due to a shortage of coal and underlines the challenge Prime Minister Narendra Modi faces in improving the country's creaking infrastructure.
