Karnataka govt to crack down on developers overloading power grid

Karnataka government directs KPTCL to act against developers overloading the power grid.

Developers of projects with sanctioned load over 7.5 MVA must create dedicated substations at their own cost.

Energy Minister KJ George says 45 such projects in Bengaluru have been identified and notices issued.

Non-compliant developers face a penalty of 10% of project cost and possible power disconnection.

Action targets 'self-execution' projects that failed to build mandatory electrical infrastructure.
