India, Bareilly: The Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) has granted INR 30 crore ($ 4.9 million) to upgrade several transformer substations following unscheduled power cuts on a regular basis.
Capacities of over 30 transformers will be enhanced in various localities of city. Also, around 48 new transformers will be installed in places where overloading occurs, reports The Times of India.
