The jungle of overhead cables has been replaced with underground network with state-of-the-art, compact sub-stations.

A total of Rs 50 crore has been spent to shift the overhead wires underground in the congested by-lanes. "Apart from beauty, this will help locate and fix electricity faults faster and reduce power theft," said Ramesh Narayanan, CEO of BYPL. HTC
