Tata Power enhances digitized services for its Mumbai consumers by implementing DMS

Tata Power in line with its commitment to constantly innovate for the benefit of its customers, the Company has implemented Distribution Management System (DMS) in its Mumbai Distribution Network to facilitate effective Monitoring and Control of its network operations in real time with a geographical visualisation across the Land base of Mumbai.

The company has always been a pioneer in ushering Innovative interventions and adoption of new technologies for enhancing the services to its customers. With the implementation of DMS, Tata Power would be able to restore supply to its consumers (in the unlikely event of a Power failure) in the shortest possible time without any manual intervention.

The balance 4 zones will be covered in a phased manner by March-2016.

Commenting on the initiative, Mr. Ashok Sethi COO and ED, Tata Power stated, “Tata Power is committed to provide uninterrupted power to the city of Mumbai through our innovative efforts in technological advancement and continuous enhancement in customer services. By implementing the advanced technology of Distribution Management System (DMS), Tata Power will be able to restore supply of power to its consumers (in the unlikely event of a Power failure) in the shortest possible time without any manual intervention. This will not only be beneficial for our consumers but also benefit the power industry tremendously. We will continue to work on further innovations in technology to ensure uninterrupted services to our consumers.”
