The KTPCL has been carrying out repair and other projects throughout September, which have included strengthening of existing transmission lines, replacement of conductors, construction of new lines, structure work and tests, among other works. Most of the works in September were periodical, quarterly or half yearly maintenance.

The BESCOM schedules planned outages to tackle delayed and pending projects every month, a prominent one being the shifting of all overhead cables underground, which has been pushed further due to rain. These companies usually schedule heavier works on weekends when the load on the grid is less, as most employees stay away from work during the period.
