Vadodara: Madhya Gujarat Vij Company Ltd (MGVCL), responsible for the distribution of electricity in Central Gujarat, today declared that power supply will be restored in several areas of Vadodara by evening, as MGVCL has started the restoration work on the feeders and transformers that had submerged due to waterlogging and flooding from the Vishwamitri River.

Tejas Parmar, MD of MGVCL, stated in a briefing, “Given the flood situation in Vadodara, several feeders and transformers were shut off. As of now, a total of 44 feeders and 165 transformers are still shut off in the city due to various reasons. The Vidyut Nagar Substation, which had submerged in water earlier, has become functional after the water receded. From the Vidyut Nagar substation, power is supplied through 27 feeders to various areas, such as Jetalpur Road, Akota, Akota Police Line, areas of Alkapuri, Diwalipura, and some areas of Atladara. The MGVCL teams are starting the power supply after inspecting all the transformers in these areas. Therefore, if the transformers are not underwater, power supply is expected to be restored by evening.”

“As the transformers were submerged in water, sometimes during restoration, some issues occur, and blasts also happen at times. Our team is working with precision, and by evening, we plan to restore electricity in most places in the city,” he added.

Parmar also mentioned that, in addition to MGVCL teams, 50 teams from DGVCL are also arriving in Vadodara and will be utilized in the restoration work. DeshGujarat
