In order to provide 24×7 electricity, NBPDCL is constructing 19 power sub-stations in Muzaffarpur.
At the time of writing this article, the construction of 5 substations is underway, and is said, the construction of all the 19 substations will be completed in a couple of months.
You will be surprised to know that, despite growing population density, the city hasn’t built any new power substations in the past decade.
Last August, when Chief Minister Nitish Kumar laid the foundation stone of building different power substations in Bihar, we were happy to know that Muzaffarpur will also get new power substations.
The number of power sub-stations that are being constructed has also been grown in a year.
Last August, it was said, the city will have 16 power substations in a year but as I said, currently, the construction of 5 out of 19 substations is underway.
Out of all the 19 substations that are going to be built in Muzaffarpur, only 6 of them reside in the urban area.
Let’s talk about these 6 power substations at first that will reside in the urban area.

Muzaffarpur recently has installed 49 Agricultural Feeder
In order to irrigate the land, the state government is providing electricity to the farmers at a low cost via dedicated feeders.
In recent days, Muzaffarpur has installed 49 dedicated agricultural feeders for electricity.
Soon, Mukhyamantri Krishi Vidyut Sambandh Nischay Yojana will start that will provide free electricity to 1920 farmers in the state. However, they have to fulfill certain eligibility criteria. For example, they must have done boring in advance otherwise their application will be rejected. Interested farmers will apply for Mukhyamantri Krishi Vidyut Sambandh Nischay Yojana by visiting their nearest electricity office.
An official from the electricity department has said, the construction of dedicated agricultural feeders is at its pace. We will get more of such feeders from the ongoing constructed power substations too.
