Large power cuts hit Mumbai and neighbouring areas on Sunday morning.
According to the Head of Electric Supply Division of BEST, the power supply to most of parts Mumbai was affected due to tripping of MSEB 220kv Transmission line on Mulund-Trombay.
MSETCL line from Kalwa to Trombay got tripped causing tripping of Trombay Salsette 1 on overload, thus causing tripping of Trombay generators and affecting South Mumbai system. Hydro was intact, Bhira got islanded but synchronised. All buses restored as of now, load restoration in process is done as well.
