Indians steal more 'electricity' than its neighbors... SHOCKED?

[Krate M]

First of all transmission and distribution loss is not the same as stealing.
The issue here is the non uniformity in the state level distribution corporation and problems at substation level. As the uniform electric grid is getting done, this issue will reduce.
There is a stealing part in the loss, but that is not as big as made out to be.
Total Losses in Power Distribution and Transmission Lines (1) | EEP

Electricity sector in India - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

India's network technical losses is 23.65% in 2013 compared to world average of less than 15%.[49] The Government has pegged the national T&D losses at around 24% for the year 2011 & has set a target of reducing them to 17.1% by 2017 & to 14.1% by 2022.

A high proportion of non-technical losses are caused by illegal tapping of lines, and faulty electric meters that underestimate actual consumption also contribute to reduced payment collection. A case study in Kerala estimated that replacing faulty meters could reduce distribution losses from 34% to 29%.

Why Indians are thief

A bangladeshi wants to know !!

 

[BanglaBhoot]

Munshi. arent you the barrister that was associated with a bank fraud in your native country?

Yes I am a barrister and no I was not involved in any bank fraud. I in fact prevented bank fraud and was praised by Bangladesh Bank and the High Court for my efforts. .

 

[BanglaBhoot]

Indians stealing from Indian grids, and a Bangladeshi is getting hyper for nothing.

Where do you get hyper. I just posted the image with no comment. Indians just can't face the truth that they are a nation of cheats and liars.

Then why you have no brain? Have you ever won a case?

How many judges have committed suicide after hearing your arguments?

And Indian power grid and output is impressive?

A few years back I remember that half the country lost power and went into darkness. One reason manufacturing fails in India is the lack of reliable electricity supply.

And Indian power grid and output is impressive?

A few years back I remember that half the country lost power and went into darkness. One reason manufacturing fails in India is the lack of reliable electricity supply.

As far as output is concerned - India is the world's third largest power producer after China and US and as far as the grid is concerned then India operates the largest synchronous grid in the world. After the 2012 blackout of Northern India - a series of changes have been put in place in the way the grid operates. Drawing or supplying more power than 'scheduled' is now heavily frowned upon, and is less widespread than it used to be. Synchronous integration of southern grid with rest of the national power grid not only augmented the inter-regional power transfer capacity of southern region but also relieved the congestion being experienced in few transmission corridors making India the largest synchronous grid operator in the world and thereby making it more efficient than ever.

And as far as dealing with such thefts is concerned - the Gujrat Model is being implemented all across the country -

India to invest $4 billion to tackle power theft
​

NEW DELHI: India will spend Rs 253 billion ($4.1 billion) to tackle rampant theft of electricity by rolling out metering in cities and upgrading old distribution networks, the power ministry said.

Cutting electricity theft and reducing transmission losses are part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's efforts to bring uninterrupted power to the whole country, a key policy plank since his election in May.

Cheap or free power is viewed as a right rather than a privilege by many Indians, and poor policing and anitiquated transmission lines result in as much as 40% of electricity going unpaid for in some Indian states.

As chief minister of Gujarat in 2005, Modi was credited with tackling power shortages by clamping down on theft, and by repairing the finances of local distribution companies hit hard by unpaid bills.

Under the scheme, the government will roll out meters on distribution transformers, feeders and consumers in urban areas, the power ministry said in a statement, following cabinet approval of the project.

The government will also strengthen sub-transmission and distribution networks.

These projects will help cut technical and commercial losses and improve collection efficiency, the ministry said. They will cost 326 billion rupees in total, of which 253 billion will come from the government.
