All 16 overlapping 33 kV feeder crossings at Indore’s nearly 60-year-old 132 kV Chambal Substation have been moved underground, the Free Press Journal reports. The upgrade was carried out by Madhya Pradesh Power Transmission Company and Madhya Pradesh West Zone Electricity Distribution Company. A new duct system connects the feeders to their respective grids through underground cables. The work is expected to reduce risks from conductor snapping and related faults, while making maintenance safer. Consumers in areas including MG Road, Sarwate, Railway Station, Ujjain Road, Airport Road, Jawahar Marg and Sanwer Road, as well as nearby industrial areas, are expected to benefit from improved supply reliability and power quality.
