APCPDCL to Lay Underground Wiring in about 250 KM

The Andhra Pradesh Central Power Distribution Company Limited (APCPDCL) is replacing the overhead wiring with underground cabling (UC) in Banjara Hills and Jubilee Hills. The project will cost the power utility Rs 30 lakh per km of wiring. There’s some 250 km of street length to cable in the two localities.

The underground cabling is also being done in some specific streets in various other localities where are power disruptions are frequent. The underground cabling will ensure that there will be no power interruptions during the summer and monsoon months due to falling trees and such other problems. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has agreed to facilitate the power utility’s grand design by allocating a corridor in these localities. The corridor will carry dual electric cabling. The purpose of the dual cabling is to use one wiring as a backup in case of a breakdown.
