Major power outage hits Imphal East following Kongba Sub-Station shutdown

A large-scale power outage has been reported in various parts of Imphal East following the complete shutdown of the 132/33/11 kV Kongba Sub-Station, according to a report issued by the Manipur State Power Distribution Company Limited (MSPDCL), SSD-I.
The Kongba Sub-Station has been declared “totally under shutdown,” leading to disruption in electricity supply across multiple 33 kV and 11 kV feeder lines. The report identifies three major 33 kV lines affected: the Khuman Lampak line (now operating with a 10 MW load constraint through Iroishemba Sub-Station), and the Sangapat and JNIMS via Sangaipat lines, both of which are under complete outage.
As a result, eight 11 kV feeders have been impacted, affecting power supply to key localities and essential services.
