Virar: 12-year delay hits high voltage substation project; plot ownership still with state
The MSETCL's planned EHV substation in Virar West faces significant delays, with ownership of the allocated plot still pending after five years. This hold-up, despite initiated tender processes, has raised concerns due to overloaded existing feeders and numerous construction approvals granted in anticipation of the substation. Activists emphasize the urgent need for the project to alleviate strain on infrastructure.
