The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) undertaking reported receiving complaints about the outage around 10:36 AM from the City Light section in Mahim.

Upon inspection, officials identified the cause as a tripping incident in an 11,000-volt cable feeder linking the Nutan Vaishali Substation to the Mahapalwadi Substation.
