Well since you guys are going to be electricity surplus soon, I guess you don't need it anymore :p

Is there is anyone from 3rd tier cities and villages or visits them regularly. Please update and share your experience.

Mumbai Since last 6 years literally no scheduled load shedding and I can count power cut incidents on my fingures

 

[Rajaraja Chola]

Not here. A good change for now, considering before 2 months, we used to suffer from power cuts in Chennai and other areas in TN.
I think with the onset of winter, power consumption have reduced. I will keep my finger crossed till the next summer to know about the correct current sittuation.

Re-posting my post from another thread.........

"From West Bengal(Kolkata), I can say that load-sheddings have reduced dramatically over the past couple of years.....don't know why(no new power-plants were built.......better management I guess).

We used to have 1:30hrs/day of power-cuts on an average till 2 yrs ago......NOW, load-sheddings don't happen, power rarely goes off.....may be few mins/month......due to faults or failures as our infrastructure is not that good........power theft is also an issue...."

Hope things remain this way....

well i live ghaziabad and we can see upto 15 hours loadshedding a week ......and i study in patna which easily sees 3 hrs power cuts per day ...soo the picture isnt as rosy for theese states

For all of us, may its India, Pakistan or Bangladesh it is very vital that we become a power surplus nation, because no country can draw up and roll out major industrial policy if it does not have more than enough power…

jeddah - no power cut since 108 years

Did a fuse never go off either?

I remember there was a power cut once due to the neighborhood transformer catching fire. We didn't have electricity for 3 hours, it was horrible.

Together we can put namak mirch on the wounds of these Desis

karachi - DHA. not very often except for system failure (PMT/Transformer blows up) - then it could be upto 6-8 hours until repaired - maybe once a month.

KESC has a policy - pay your bill, get un-interrupted power!

NOW THIS IS SHOCKING AND SHAMEFUL I expected Patna, but ghaziabad is a disappointment. But since Bihar is experiencing rapid economic growth of over 15% we can bank on Nitish to do the unthinkable for a poor state like Bihar.

Maybe you live is some kind of planned private township with its own generators or something because earlier someone from Karachi posted that, there is atleast 3-4 hours per day. Can someone confirm?

No recent news on that.......

There are some speculations that it may take a backseat (from below article), but nothing confirmed.
