Mahavitaran, the Maharashtra government-owned power distribution company, has detected power theft amounting to Rs 41.29 lakh at the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group's headquarters at the Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge City (DAKC).

Mahavitaran has registered a first information report (FIR) against three electrical contractors for the power theft at a police station in Kalyan, which has been created exclusively for dealing with power thefts.

Mahavitaran's official on Tuesday found that power is being drawn in the DAKC from an unauthorised underground cable from the 320 KVA sub-station of the Mahavitaran in the Mhape industrial area.

Mahavitaran later has served a bill of Rs 41.29 lakh on Reliance Infocom Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd for the period between May 15 to November 6, 2007.

A Press Trust of India report said the company has also been slapped with a Rs 50 lakh fine.

When contacted, an ADAG group spokesman said, "The company is not aware about the theft or any unauthorised connection, as getting power supply and maintaining the power infrastructure at the company's premises is the contractor's responsibility".
