What’s Happening Now?
Telangana has embarked on an ambitious effort to replace approximately 25,000 km of overhead power lines with underground (UG) cables across the Core Urban Region (CUR) — including Greater Hyderabad and its peripheries. Led by TGSPDCL and backed by the state government, this initiative aims to improve public safety, cut down on outages, and enhance urban aesthetics.The Times of India
- Budget: ₹13,500 crore.
- Current Coverage: Approximately 1,300 km of UG cabling completed.
- Target Model: Based on Bengaluru’s horizontal boring method to minimize street disruption.The Times of India
Why Underground Cabling Is a Game-Changer
Safety First: Overhead wires, especially during rains, pose electrocution risks and structural hazards. Moving them underground enhances public safety.
Reduced Interruptions: Rain-induced outages and storm damage to overhead lines can be substantially reduced.
Aesthetics & Maintenance: UG cabling offers cleaner cityscapes and lower maintenance—cutting costs potentially up to ₹500 crore annually.The Times of India
How This Impacts Your Project—And How Sony Electrical Can Help
As Sony Electricals, your expertise in transformer installations, LT/HT works, and infrastructure-ready electrical contracting becomes increasingly vital in UG environments:
- Transformer Planning: UG setups often require indoor or vault-mounted transformers—something your team can design and implement.
- Smart Layouts: You can offer expertise in planning internal wiring, distribution panels, and service access points for UG-connected buildings.
- Future-Proof Design: Equip developers and homeowners with solutions ready for UG systems—like structured conduits and switchboard locations.
