The company has streamlined the process for obtaining these connections, allowing Ganesh pandals to secure temporary connections within 48 hours of submitting their applications online at www.adanielectricity.com, according to the official. In 2023, Adani Electricity had provided uninterrupted power to over 958 Ganesh pandals in Mumbai, ensuring that the celebrations continued without disruption.

This year, the company has made extensive preparations to expedite power connection approvals and ensure a reliable power supply throughout the festival.

The company has urged all organisers to use only authorised and licensed electrical contractors for wiring, to ensure the safety of the devotees visiting the pandals.

The company has also issued a detailed list of do's and don'ts for all Ganesh pandals, emphasising safety precautions to prevent any hazards during the festivities.

Some of these precautions include ensuring proper wiring readiness at the pandals, restricting access to authorised personnel in meter cabins, using wires and switches with standard capacity and secure insulation, maintaining optimal load, properly earthing the generator body if using backup, keeping fire extinguishers with operating instructions near the meter board, and avoiding the storage of hazardous materials in and around the meter cabin.
