Addressing a press conference here, Pathak said in the last four years under the Devendra Fadnavis-led government the state has managed to reduce the T&D losses to 14.5 per cent from 17.5 per cent in 2014.
“We, at MSEDCL, have taken various initiatives to reduce the T&D losses. But areas where the losses were very high, its imperative to bring in the private sector,” he said.
Pathak said the bid process for appointing the franchisees for Shil-Mumbra-Kalwa and Malegaon circles is in the last stage and the bidders will be finalised by the month-end.[Courtesy-Business Standard] 381
