Power Restored After 22-Hour Outage at Pune’s Hinjawadi Housing Society

Repairs focused on a 22 kV cable damaged near metro works beneath layers of concrete.

Overview

  • Electricity to Yashwin Housing Society, cut at 12:48 pm Monday, returned at 10:50 am Tuesday after roughly 22 hours.
  • Officials said a 22 kV underground line near metro construction failed and concrete poured over cables buried them deep, slowing access.
  • Crews fixed one fault by 7 pm Monday, then overnight digging uncovered a second break under concrete around 7 am Tuesday.
  • Teams laid about 30 metres of new high-tension cable and diverted supply through an alternate route to bring power back.
  • Residents reported lost water, lifts and internet across hundreds of flats, held protests for accountability, and MSEDCL said it will soon explain the prolonged outage.
