RP Power's former chairman RP Singh said, "This Pole Grid has not failed, Mumbai's local grid has failed. Due to this, the supply of electricity has come to a standstill. This power is due to a big difference in demand and supply. If the demand is high and the supply is low, the grid fails due to increasing load. ''
RP Singh further explained? In this case, there has been a problem in the transmission and sub-transmission of the local grid. Due to this, Tata had to get power from his plant, less supply than it came. This is why the entire distribution got messed up.
