The company said natural esters fluids have a high fire point (350 degree Celsius) and remove any risk of pool fires in the electrical installation due to their self-extinguishing feature.
Tata Power developed what it cliams to be the first green and fire safe installation of its kind with active participation from several original equipment manufacturers like ABB, Scheinder, Raychem RPG and Cargill.
The company has decided to deploy all its package substations with natural ester filled transformers and is in advanced stage of finalising the design of the power transformers.
Tata Power executive director Ashok Sethi said the company is committed towards ensuring safety and sustainability of its stakeholders.
"Safety is a core value at Tata Power and is an integral part of our values system, whereas the technological innovations undertaken in our business highlights our commitment," Sethi added.
"Tata Power will continue to uphold its commitment and implement further technological innovations for the benefit of Mumbai city and its consumers."
