In addition, automation of the network has also been taken up which would contribute significantly to prompt fault detection and restoration of power. With the implementation of these works, the quality and reliability of power supply would significantly improve in these cities. The automation and modernisation of distribution infrastructure will make Faridabad and Gurugram future-ready; the underground cabling work will also help improve citizen safety and overall aesthetics, especially in congested areas.

Minster Manohar Lal reviewed the performance of the Power Distribution Companies and Power Departments. During the review, the status of quality and reliability of power supply in the National Capital Region including the cities of Gurugram and Faridabad was also discussed in detail. It was observed that the power demand in these towns has been growing at a rapid pace of 8-10 percent annually.
