In a statement, KPDCL said the adverse weather conditions led to extensive damage to high-tension and low-tension networks, distribution transformers (DTs) and sub-transmission lines across several areas. “In many localities, rooftops were blown onto overhead lines, further aggravating the damage and resulting in prolonged power disruptions,” the corporation said.

Despite challenging conditions, KPDCL achieved restoration in a time-bound manner through coordinated, round-the-clock field operations and continuous monitoring. All 33 kV networks—covering all 135 feeders and 333 receiving stations—have been fully restored and charged.
