Several parts of Mumbai witnessed power cut again today after the city's suburbs and surrounding areas saw a blackout for over an hour on Monday.
The city with soaring temperatures saw angry residents flooding Twitter with their complaints, with some even claiming that there was no electricity all night.
Outages were reported from Mumbai's posh Khar area with a user questioning the quality of services despite what he claimed were high electricity charges.
The latest outages were reported by consumers of Adani Electricity. Areas where Tata Power provides electricity witnessed power cuts on Monday.
Adani Electricity today said in a statement that its teams are working relentlessly to repair faults in parts of Khar West that affected 7,000 of its consumers.
Tata Power had said yesterday that load shedding might be initiated in order to maintain grid balance. It said power will be restored once the Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Co. Ltd. (MSETCL) line gets energised.
"As per initial assessment, Tata Power would like to inform you some parts of Mumbai experienced electricity failure due to MSETCL line tripping as part of the 400KV Kalwa Grid which supplies power to Mumbai and suburban areas," the company said.
Before this, Mumbai had witnessed an 18-hour power outage in 2020.
