No one was injured. The extent of damage and reasons would be ascertained in due course with engineers of Tata Power and OEM experts from BHEL, the company said in a statement.
Power generation from the rest of the units of the Trombay station remains unaffected. The company said it will ensure that alternative power supply is maintained to Mumbai consumers.
