How a project runs

Five stages, one team

Approvals run alongside the work, so the inspection is ready when installation finishes.

  1. Site survey

    We visit, note the existing supply and confirm your connected load and future needs.

  2. Estimate & BOQ

    Itemised bill of quantities and a clear scope, so you can compare and plan payments.

  3. Drawings & applications

    We prepare drawings and file with the ESCOM, KPTCL or CEIG as the project requires.

  4. Installation

    Our licensed team executes, coordinating with your architect and civil contractor.

  5. Test, inspect, energise

    Testing and commissioning, the statutory inspection, metering and supply release.

Statutory approvals

The offices we deal with for you

Each authority has its own forms, fees and inspection steps. We know the order they come in and keep the file moving between them.

ESCOMsDistribution utilities

Karnataka's five electricity supply companies each supply their own group of districts: BESCOM (Bengaluru), MESCOM (Mangaluru), CESC (Mysuru), HESCOM (Hubballi) and GESCOM (Kalaburagi).

  • New LT and HT power connections and temporary supply for construction
  • Load enhancement, load reduction and tariff category change

Drawings, applications and follow-up with your ESCOM, KPTCL and CEIG are part of the job.

Across Karnataka

Projects in every ESCOM area from our office in Navalgund, Dharwad district, with working knowledge of each ESCOM's offices and procedures.

After-sales support

AMC, periodic testing and breakdown support after commissioning.

Glossary

Terms you will see on your file

The words your ESCOM, the Inspectorate and your contractor will use, explained.

LT / HT / EHT
Low tension (415 V three-phase, 230 V single-phase), high tension (11 kV and 33 kV from the ESCOM) and extra high tension (66 kV and above, KPTCL).
RR number
The revenue register number on your electricity bill. It identifies your installation in every application.
Sanctioned load
The load your ESCOM has approved for your installation, in kW or HP for LT consumers.
Contract demand
For HT consumers, the maximum demand in kVA agreed with the ESCOM. Your demand charges are based on it.
kW vs kVA
kW is real power; kVA is apparent power. kVA = kW ÷ power factor. Transformers are rated in kVA.
DTC
Distribution transformer centre: the transformer with its structure, switches and protection that feeds an LT network.
SLD
Single-line diagram: the one-line drawing of your electrical system submitted for approval.
CEIG
Chief Electrical Inspector to Government, head of the Department of Electrical Inspectorate, Karnataka.
VCB / RMU
Vacuum circuit breaker and ring main unit: HT switching and protection equipment at your incoming supply.
CT / PT metering
Current and potential transformers that step down HT values so the ESCOM energy meter can measure them.
APFC panel
Automatic power factor correction panel. Keeps the power factor high and avoids tariff penalties.
IR test
Insulation resistance test with a megger. Confirms cables and equipment are safe before energising.
FAQ

Common questions

Which areas do you cover?

All of Karnataka, in all five ESCOM areas: BESCOM (Bengaluru and surrounding districts), MESCOM (Mangaluru, the coast and Malnad), CESC (Mysuru and the southern districts), HESCOM (Hubballi, Belagavi and nearby districts) and GESCOM (Kalaburagi and Kalyana Karnataka). Our office is in Navalgund, Dharwad district.

Can you handle only the ESCOM or CEIG approvals if another contractor did the wiring?

Yes. We first inspect and test the installation, list anything that must be corrected, and then prepare and submit the file. We can also carry out those corrections so the inspection passes the first time.

When do I need an HT connection instead of LT?

When your required load goes above the LT limit set in the KERC Electricity Supply Code for your category, the supply is given at HT (usually 11 kV, sometimes 33 kV) with your own transformer. Very large loads are supplied at 66 kV or above through KPTCL. We calculate your load and tell you which applies.

When is CEIG / Electrical Inspectorate approval required?

Generally for HT installations, transformers, generators above specified capacity and other installations covered by the CEA (Measures relating to Safety and Electric Supply) Regulations, 2023. Some installations can be self-certified. We check your project against the current rules during the site visit.

How long does a new electricity connection take?

A simple LT connection with a complete file can move quickly. HT connections take longer because they involve feasibility, estimates, CEIG drawing approval, installation, inspection and metering. After the site visit we give you a stage-wise timeline and update you at each stage.

What documents are needed for a new electricity connection?

Typically proof of ownership or lease, applicant ID and address proof, building plan approval or occupancy certificate where applicable, a wiring completion and test report from a licensed electrical contractor, and load details. HT connections also need drawings and equipment test certificates.

What is load enhancement and do I need it?

Load enhancement is getting your sanctioned load increased when you add equipment such as ACs, machines, lifts or EV chargers. Running more load than sanctioned can attract penalties and overheat cables and meters. We calculate the new load, apply to your ESCOM and carry out any upgrades.

Do you work on residential layouts and DTCs?

Yes. For plotted layouts we design and execute the HT line extension, distribution transformer centres (DTCs), the LT network and street lighting under ESCOM supervision, and coordinate the handover of the network to the ESCOM.

Do you prepare an estimate and BOQ before we commit?

Yes. You get an itemised bill of quantities with material, labour and statutory charges shown separately, so you can compare quotes on the same basis.

Are you a licensed electrical contractor?

Yes. All installation work is carried out and certified under a valid electrical contractor licence, with competent supervisors and wiremen as required by the Karnataka licensing rules. Licence details are shown in the contact section.

Do you offer maintenance after commissioning?

We offer annual maintenance contracts covering preventive maintenance of HT/LT panels, transformers and earthing, periodic testing, maintenance records for inspections, and breakdown support.

Can you help with DG set installation and approval?

Yes. We install DG sets with changeover panels and interlocks that prevent back-feeding into the ESCOM network, carry out neutral and body earthing, and handle the Inspectorate approval where it applies.
