Subject: Request for urgent upgradation of power infrastructure in Wakad, Ravet, Hinjawadi, Baner and surrounding IT corridors

Respected Sir,

On behalf of the Forum For IT Employees (FITE Maharashtra), we would like to draw your kind attention to the growing issue of frequent and prolonged power outages in Wakad, Ravet, Hinjawadi, Baner, Balewadi, Punawale and nearby areas of Pune.

These locations have witnessed rapid urbanisation over the last decade, with the development of numerous high-rise residential projects and a significant increase in population. They are also home to one of India’s largest IT hubs, where thousands of professionals work in hybrid and work-from-home arrangements.

Frequent electricity interruptions are causing severe hardship to residents and employees by:

* Disrupting work-from-home and business operations.
* Interrupting internet connectivity and online meetings.
* Affecting lifts, water pumps and essential services in high-rise buildings.
* Creating inconvenience for senior citizens, children and patients.
* Causing productivity losses for employees and organisations.

As Maharashtra continues to position itself as the country’s leading IT investment destination, uninterrupted and reliable electricity has become a critical infrastructure requirement rather than a basic utility.

We respectfully request your intervention to:

1. Conduct a comprehensive technical audit of the electricity distribution network in Wakad, Ravet, Hinjawadi, Baner and adjoining areas.
2. Upgrade substations, transformers, feeders and distribution lines to meet the increasing demand.
3. Strengthen the power infrastructure considering future residential and commercial growth.
4. Establish a preventive maintenance and monitoring mechanism to minimise unplanned outages.
5. Publish a long-term infrastructure augmentation plan along with timelines for implementation.

We are confident that your timely intervention will significantly improve the quality of life for lakhs of residents and ensure uninterrupted operations for Maharashtra’s IT workforce.

FITE Maharashtra would be pleased to meet the concerned officials and provide feedback received from IT employees and residents to support this initiative.

We sincerely hope this matter will receive your kind consideration and be taken up on priority.

Thanking You.

Yours faithfully,

Forum For IT Maharashtra

[Ali shaikh @alimshaikhTOI]

Hundreds of residents from #Ravet, #Kiwale and #Mamurdi areas protested outside the #MSEDCL office in Ravet over frequent long power cuts in the area over the last three days. Several housing societies have reported power cuts lasting over 24 hours during heavy rain. @MSEDCL

Massive protest near Celestial city Ravet MSEB office by residents due to prolonged power outage. No relief & proper ETA on resolution. Humble request to authorities to restore power as elderly& kids have affected the most. @ThePuneMirror @pulse_pune @Dev_Fadnavis @vineet_mausam
