The Principal Secretary evaluated the existing transmission network, which includes 400 KV, 220 KV, and 132 KV systems. He instructed the transmission director and field engineers to accelerate work on extra high voltage substations and associated line projects. The goal is to complete these critical projects before summer begins to ensure the network can handle increased loads.

He asked them to analyze past issues and consider the rapidly growing electricity demand, particularly in Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) areas.

The Principal Secretary also directed field engineers to remain at their headquarters to respond promptly to emergencies. He warned that any negligence in serving consumers would be taken seriously. Furthermore, officials were instructed to start the procurement process early and maintain adequate stock of essential equipment like distribution transformers, circuit breakers, insulators, and poles to ensure timely execution of projects.
