btw he also says that once a month their is no power for almost whole day....
Pakistan media is biggest illusion.
They will instead report about you and you shall know the rest.
Pakistanis know much more horrible stories abut the activities of ministers,, but surprisingly nothing made it to media only unfortunate politicians got caught on tape.
Not true...In Bangalore max 15 min. power cut a day or no cut ....Chennai is Metro City...will be better than Bangalore...
World Bank don't give money blindly to anyone but before that they scrutinize the project cost and return and give loans only if they see funding is viable and they will get back their money in time.
Tharcoal gasification is just a research project with chances of failure and World Bank won't provide loan for such projects.
Why have I never heard this come from a Pakistani mouth when it is concerning China?
But when it comes to India, Pakistan most stop all import.
Stupid mentality and obsessive about India again!
How much more feasibility confirmation WB needs when India / Iran are going to profit by selling electricity to Pakistan!
WB is part and parcel of keeping energy sector in govt. control. It guarantees huge profits!
Lack of affordable fuel has forced many power producers in Pakistan to operate at a fraction of their installed capacity since 2008. It has led to widespread load-shedding in the country, seriously hurting its economy. Similar situation now appears to be developing in India as well with soaring coal prices, although it's not quite as serious as Pakistan's current crisis yet. Current costs of various fuel options vary from $4 per mmBTU for coal to $20 per mmBTU for oil. Recently, the US prices of natural gas have dropped dramatically from $12 per mmBTU a few years ago to less than $2 per mmBTU, about half the price of coal, with the shale gas revolution currently sweeping the United States.
India burns coal to produce 55 percent of its electricity needs. Domestic coal production has increased just 1 percent last year while 11 percent additional power generation capacity has been installed. Some power producers have been importing coal, but that option has become more untenable recently because India’s biggest supplier, Indonesia, has doubled coal prices, according to a report in New York Times. The gap between demand and supply in India has increased to 10.2 percent last month, from 7.7 percent a year earlier. In some states like Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, power cuts have become so common that many factories report getting more electricity from diesel generators than they do from the power grid, at much higher cost. Retail rates for electricity are lower than the cost of producing and delivering it and the difference is made up by Indian state government subsidies running into hundreds of billions of rupees annually.

I lived in Chennai for 6 years! Unless the transformer in my area burns down... There will not be power out for the whole day!
Karunanithi during his last term was busy with 2G scam and becoming 2 richest family in Asia! He did not have time to plan for power plants!
TN does not form sizable area or population of India! Don't worry our Amma will get all 2000 MW to TN itself and Powercut will be one of the thing of past!
But even tat ***** is doing nothing...She promised she will resolve all power cuts in three months of time ...if she is elected,but it was a reverse,1hour power cut was increased to two hours n electricity prices r hiked..
I disagree here.
Minister can do something to poors but i don't think they can do something if whole team of inverters talk against them, also they can discuss they matter with some military personnal also. If there is some support ministers can't do $h1t.
