Chandigarh, August 12, 2026: Chandigarh Power Distribution Limited (CPDL) has commissioned a new 11 kV 46-C Feeder originating from the 66/11 kV Sector-47 Grid Substation, taking another step towards strengthening the city's power distribution network. The project has been completed at an approximate cost of Rs 55 lakh.
The newly commissioned feeder is designed to enhance the reliability and operational flexibility of the electricity distribution network in Sector-46-C and adjoining areas.
CPDL officials said that the new feeder will provide substantial load relief to the existing 11 kV feeder for Sector 46 C & D, emanating from the Sector-32 Grid Substation, reducing feeder loading and improving the continuity and reliability of power supply for consumers.
The project will also enhance network flexibility by enabling efficient load redistribution with improved system redundancy.
In addition, it will facilitate planned cut-point shifting to provide further load relief to the 11 kV 32 Water Works Feeder originating from the Sector-52 Grid Substation, thereby improving the overall performance of the distribution network.
Consumers in the area will benefit from improved voltage regulation, reduced chances of feeder overloading, and outages. The additional infrastructure will also enable CPDL to cater to future growth in electricity demand in the locality.
