The Delhi government is making strides to modernize the city’s power infrastructure by transferring overhead electricity wires underground in Chandni Chowk.
This initiative, costing Rs 160 crore, was inaugurated by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and aims to clear 28 roads in Old Delhi of unsightly cables, benefiting approximately 10,000 consumers by reducing fire hazards and improving power reliability.
Additionally, a new indoor power grid and four battery energy storage systems are set to stabilize and strengthen Delhi’s electricity supply while supporting a shift to electric vehicles.
