New Delhi: Adani Energy Solutions on Monday said it has commissioned the Khargar-Vikhroli transmission line to supply an additional 1,000 MW of power to Mumbai city. “Kharghar Vikhroli Transmission Ltd (KVTL), which will enable additional power to be brought into Mumbai and thus enable in meeting the city’s growing and future electricity demand, is commissioned,” a company statement said. Built by Adani Energy Solutions Ltd (earlier known as Adani Transmission Ltd) -- the energy solution, transmission and distribution arm of the Adani group -- the project is critical for Mumbai, as the existing capacity of the transmission corridor is not sufficient to carry further power into the city, it stated. Mumbai witnessed grid failure twice recently – on February 27, 2022, and October 12, 2020 -- localities across the metropolis went dark for a considerable period, it noted.
