Digital Desk: On April 26, several parts of Mumbai were without power due to cable faults in the substations between Khar and Bandra. There were power outages in several areas of Mumbai and its surrounding suburbs. Tripping in the 400kV substation at Padgha caused power outages in Thane, Mulund, Matunga, Ambarnath, Badlapur, and Dombivli.
