Adani Electricity observes National Electrical Safety Week
During this week, various electrical safety-related educational workshops and programmes are being organised for employees and customers, the company said in a statement.
Additionally, Adani Electricity, in association with Adani Foundation, is also organising electrical safety workshops in BMC schools.
In April, in a bid to promote fire prevention, Adani Electricity observed 'Fire Service Week', throughout its power distribution area.
During the week, various fire safety workshops were organised for Adani Electricity's power warriors. The theme for this year was "Unite to Ignite, a Fire Safe India," emphasising the significance of community involvement, education, preparedness and innovations in fire safety.
In March, Adani Electricity observed the 'National Safety Week 2025', maintaining high safety standards as India progresses towards development.
The objective was to raise awareness and encourage the adoption of safety measures across its power distribution area and various work sites, according to Adani Electricity, which is the leading power distribution company serving over three million customers in Mumbai.
Meanwhile, Adani Electricity has proactively enhanced its disaster management readiness in preparation for the monsoon season, aiming to safeguard its 3.15 million customers from potential disruptions.
To address any emergencies that may arise during the monsoon, Adani Electricity has activated its Central Disaster Control Centre (CDCC). This pivotal hub will orchestrate response efforts and operate round-the-clock, ensuring swift action and communication throughout the monsoon period.
"Seven Quick Response Teams (QRTs) have been strategically deployed across the distribution network. These teams are equipped with comprehensive response, recovery, and restoration plans specifically tailored for the challenges posed by the monsoon season," the company said in a statement.
To monitor rising water levels, 98 advanced water level sensors are now integrated with the Advanced Distribution Management System at critical locations. This setup enhances the ability to pre-empt and respond to flood-related electrical issues.

HC directs BMC to reply on plea to repair bldg that housed Jimmy Boy
Mumbai: The Bombay high court has directed the BMC to reply to an application by former occupants of a 129-year-old, ground-plus-four floor building at Fort that housed the iconic Parsi restaurant Jimmy Boy, to allow them to repair it. Justices Girish Kulkarni and Arif Doctor also asked the BMC on Wednesday to consider their suggestion to appoint Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-Bombay to conduct a structural audit of the building. Vikas Premises CHS — with 37 commercial members — sought recall/modification of HC's July 2 order that dismissed its petition against BMC's notices for disconnecting electricity and water and to vacate the building. The Society's application cited "changed circumstances" after the order. It stated that Mahimtura Consultants Pvt Ltd, who on June 21, classified the building as C1 category (extremely dangerous to be evacuated immediately) on visual inspection has, after undertaking detailed tests in its July 16 final report, classified it as C2 A (repairable).

HC's order proceeded on the footing that it did not refer to a May 2024 report of structural engineer K R Trivedi that showed the building was C1 category. A special general body meeting had decided to appoint Mahimtura and its minutes, placed on record, refer to Trivedi's "opinion". There was "no suppression". While HC order said petitioners took no steps from June 2024 till June 2025, in Sept 2024, it obtained a report from Prism Consortium suggesting remedial measures. The Society said HC order is based on factors "not supported by actual inspection, test and examination of the building." It also mentioned that redevelopment is virtually not possible as the building is "in close proximity with Naval establishments." As it is in a heritage precinct, "it would be appropriate to structurally repair the building" rather than redevelop it. Senior advocate Milind Sathe, for the Society, said Mahimtura in 2024, had said the building is repairable. He urged that "IIT or any other" may be appointed to conduct a structural audit. The judges said BMC must reply to the application and that it must be "consistent in its stand." Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Bombay HC seeks BMC's response to plea by occupants of ‘dilapidated' building which houses iconic eatery ‘Jimmy Boy' to repair structure
The Bombay High Court on Wednesday sought BMC's reply to a plea by the society of occupants of the dilapidated 129-year-old 'Vikas Building' in South Mumbai's Fort area housing the iconic Parsi eatery 'Jimmy Boy,' to repair the building instead of demolishing and redeveloping the same. Last month, the HC had dismissed a plea by occupants against action by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation seeking immediate vacation of the 'dilapidated and ruinous' premises. The building housed 37 units including 11 law firms or offices, Jimmy Boy restaurant on ground floor and other commercial establishments. The BMC's Disaster Control Cell had vacated the building on June 21 citing 'urgent situation.' A division bench of Justices Girish S Kulkarni and Arif S Doctor on August 13 passed an order on a plea by Vikas Premises Co-operative Society Ltd, seeking modification in the July 2 order to allow the occupants to repair or strengthen the subject building. Pending final disposal of the application, the petitioner society sought a stay on implementation of notices issued by BMC and not to take any steps to demolish the building. The high court on July 2 dismissed society's plea against BMC notices stating that situation had gone 'completely out of hand' and the court would 'permit the law to take its own course.' The court had said 'even persons occupying adjoining buildings, passers-by on the busy road have rights not to get affected in any manner by a building collapse.' After the BMC had opposed request by society to allow entry to its members to remove their belongings, the HC had last month clarified that it would be at their 'own risk' subject to civic body's decision and without holding BMC or state authorities liable in case of collapse. On Wednesday, the occupants referred to a July 16 report by Mahimtura Consultants Private Limited, which claimed that building was repairable and even while the said report classified it as C-1 (dilapidated and unsafe) category structure based on visual inspection, the private consultant suggested the repairs. The petitioner society through senior advocate Milind Sathe argued that the 'redevelopment of the building was virtually not possible' for various constraints including close proximity with Naval establishments which is likely to impede the development due to non-receipt of NOC from Naval authorities, and the litigation that the HC is flooded with. Moreover, the petitioner claimed that the development is in heritage precinct. Therefore 'it would be most appropriate to structurally repair the building rather than redevelopment, which is not a practical possibility.' Sathe also suggested that the court can appoint a committee of experts from IIT-Bombay to ascertain whether the building can be repaired. 'We passed an exhaustive judgment. We are at a serious stage…The corporation is consistent that it is a dangerous building. It should not be that someone comes and wants to have committees from IIT because they can afford. There is some sanctity to our orders. We want the corporation is consistent in its stand. We want to know what is correct,' the judges orally remarked and sought BMC's reply to interim application before the next hearing on August 20. 'In the meantime, the relief granted by this court vide judgment and order dated July 2, 2025 shall continue to operate,' the HC noted in its order.

MMR region can become $1.5-trillion growth hub, says Maharashtra CM
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis attended the CREDAI-MCHI Change of Guard 2025 event on Thursday and congratulated the new president, Sukhraj Nahar. At the event, the CM mentioned, "We can build a city bigger than Dubai and even better than that in Mumbai." Further, the Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said, "Maharashtra was the first state to adopt RERA, which has been the most successful in the state, bringing about significant changes." Talking on ease of doing business, the Maharashtra CM said, "The World Bank appreciated our efforts of bringing ease of doing business in Mumbai, and if you look at the report of the World Ban,k it's actually appreciated the efforts taken by the government and BMC bringing ease of doing business but still agree we have to do more. This is my first programme where you didn't ask me to reduce the premium. Today (Thursday), we delivered the first phase of the BDD chawl redevelopment, a significant milestone. "Over the last 10 years, whenever we've claimed that housing will be affordable, the price of housing has increased in Mumbai. Even after reducing the premium, the housing prices have not come down. We expected that building Coastal Road or Atal Setu would lower the price, but instead, it has skyrocketed after construction," said the Maharashtra CM. Talking about the development in Mumbai, Fadnavis said, "The Bandra Versova sea link is 60 % complete. It will be completed in the next 2 years. MMR Region has the potential to become even $ 1.5 trillion. Once our orange gate tunnel is completed, travelling from Marine Drive to the new Mumbai airport will take approximately 20 to 25 minutes." "We can build a city bigger than Dubai and even better than that in Mumbai. This is our potential. We can do a transformation in the next 10 years," he added further.
