That actually works. In power circles (in India at least), the word for theft is "transmission losses" ie the power that is produced, but never gets metered. Physically, the losses should be about 10%. In some southern states of India (Kerala, notably), they put in underground power lines...

In India's case, the local purchasing power has not changed much. I would suspect reduced FDI, falling oil prices (and decrease in cost of transportation), falling housing prices and reduced sales (in metros at least) as much bigger causes. For reduced FDI, I would show the fall in number of...
