Since 2007, Torrent Power Limited has been operating in Bhivandi as an electricity distribution franchise, and its annual Ganesh festival “Torrentcha Bappa” has completed 20 years this year. The five-day Ganesh festival was celebrated enthusiastically with devotion, cultural programs, and public participation. A large number of consumers and citizens visited the Ganesh pavilion to have a darshan of Lord Ganesh.
According to Torrent Power, the company has participated in social and community activities along with electricity distribution services over the past two decades.
