Large parts of Gurgaon were thrown into darkness on Friday evening after a fault at a 220kV substation in Sector 72 triggered a major power outage across multiple areas, at a time when the city was already reeling under intense heatwave conditions.
Temperatures had touched 42.7°C, while electricity demand had surged to an all-time high just a day earlier, putting additional strain on the already stressed power infrastructure.
