TGSPDCL CMD Asks Officials to Ensure Uninterrupted Power Supply
The CMD instructed officials to complete DTR–Feeder mapping by accurately linking every Distribution Transformer (DTR) to its respective feeder and connecting consumer services to the corresponding DTR structure
Hyderabad: TGSPDCL CMD Jitesh V. Patil directed officials to further strengthen the power distribution network across the company’s jurisdiction and ensure quality and uninterrupted power supply to consumers.
He issued several key instructions during the monthly review meeting of Operation Circles held through video conference on Wednesday from the Cybercity Circle Superintending Engineer’s Office, Hyderabad.
The CMD instructed officials to complete DTR–Feeder mapping by accurately linking every Distribution Transformer (DTR) to its respective feeder and connecting consumer services to the corresponding DTR structure.
He directed all circles to analyse the root causes of Power Transformer (PTR) failures and complete necessary preventive measures by the end of December. He warned that strict action would be taken from January 1, 2027, against those responsible for failures caused by negligence.
Emphasising farmers' safety in rural areas, the CMD directed officials to install AB switches at the DTRs supplying domestic power in every village and complete the works by December 31, 2026.
He also instructed officials to ensure timely payment of transportation compensation to farmers for shifting failed DTRs to repair centres.
He further directed officials to identify 33 kV feeders carrying loads above 300 Amps and take up capacity enhancement works. Feeder bifurcation and back-feeding arrangements in overloaded areas should also be expedited.
He advised officials to explore modern technological solutions such as Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and Capacitor Banks to address increasing power demand and improve network performance.
The CMD also stressed the need to develop AI-based systems for identifying multiple power interruption complaints originating from the same DTR and to introduce an AI Voice BoT to provide consumers with automatic updates on repair progress.
He directed officials to maintain quality standards in field-level maintenance of power lines, poles, connections and transformers.
He instructed all stores to install digital display systems by November 30, 2026, to ensure transparent and readily accessible information on material stocks. He also called for effective implementation of the 'Walk the Line' programme and speedy completion of pending works. The performance of all circles and divisions will be reviewed again on November 20.
The CMD emphasised that all employees must maintain discipline, accountability and transparency in the discharge of their duties, warning that negligence would invite appropriate action.
