The Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) is tightening its grip on power theft and unauthorized electricity usage in Kalyan East, uncovering 261 cases of theft involving 2.83 lakh units of electricity worth around ₹61.94 lakh. The intensified enforcement was conducted in three key areas: Nevli, Khambalpada, and Pisavli.
During inspections, MSEDCL officials identified instances of electricity being illegally utilized through various methods, causing significant financial losses to the power distribution company. MSEDCL officials informed that those found guilty were given a chance to pay the prescribed settlement charges as per the applicable procedure.
However, eight individuals failed to make the payments within the allotted time frame. Consequently, MSEDCL filed police complaints against the eight individuals under Section 135 of the Electricity Act, 2003.
The eight individuals booked in connection with the cases are Sameer Jadhav and Kishor Jadhav from Nevli, Vikas Pawar, Poonam Chorge and Nishant Dhanke from Khambalpada, Bharat Sanap and Ram Dudge from Pisavli, and Suchitra Surve from Dhamtan. The eight individuals were booked after they allegedly refused to adhere to the prescribed payment procedure following the detection of electricity theft.
MSEDCL has declared that its enforcement drive against electricity theft will persist in Kalyan East. Officials will continue to conduct inspections of suspected cases of illegal and unauthorized electricity consumption and take necessary action under the provisions of the law whenever violations are detected. This latest crackdown is part of MSEDCL’s ongoing efforts to reduce power theft, recover losses, and ensure that electricity is used only through authorized connections and in compliance with regulations.
