Gurugram, May 29 (KNN) The Gurugram industrial association has submitted a memorandum to DHBVN seeking upgradation of LT panels, underground cables in industrial sectors and underground fault detection machines.

As summer approaches, the industrial areas in Gurugram, particularly the auto hub in Manesar, are suffering from power outages due to obsolete infrastructure and shortage of maintenance staff. Many industries are relying on diesel generator sets to continue operations.

According to the association, industrial areas such as Manesar sectors are facing a shortage of maintenance staff, leading to delayed power restoration and fault correction.

In a memorandum, the industrial association highlighted that the transformers were not being maintained regularly and that corrective action is undertaken only after an accident occurs.

Additionally, thimbles are missing at most places, and instead of using proper equipment, the maintenance staff intertwine conductors with each other, increasing the risk of hazards, it said.

Gurugram industrial association president JN Mangla said, “we are known as the millennium city so we need to have the infrastructure that matches the image. Good infrastructure can boost the efficiency of industries and eventually help in the development of the state.”  (KNN Bureau)
