    India experienced a shortage of 1,201 million units of electricity in October 2021. Several states faced significant shortages, including Gujarat (215 million units), Haryana (113 million units), Punjab (121 million units), and Rajasthan (242 million units). The electricity shortage is due to increasing demand, irregular coal supply, use of inferior quality coal, gaps between targets and achievements, and use of obsolete machinery in power plants. Transmission and distribution losses in India are also high at around 20.66%.

    • Transmission & Distribution losses (2019) - 20.66%
    INSTALLED CAPACITY (AS ON 31-12-2021)

    Sector MW
    Central Sector 98,547

    State Sector 1,04,384

    Private Sector 1,90,459

    Total 3,93,389
    WHAT IS MAIN SOURCES OF
    ELECTRICITY IN INDIA?

    • 1. Thermal power
    - (i) Coal Gas, (ii) Gas based & (iii) Oil based
    • 2. Hydro Power

    IS ELECTRICITY A PROBLEM IN
    INDIA?

    • India recorded a power supply shortage of 1,201 million units in


    October 2021 

    • Gujarat : 215 million units shortage


    • Haryana : 113 million units shortage
    • Punjab : 121 million units shortage
    • Rajasthan : 242 million units shortage
    • Bihar : 120 million units of shortage
    WHY IS ELECTRICITY A PROBLEM IN
    INDIA?

    • Demand and Supply


    • Weather
    • Renewable energy
    • Centralised power system
    • States or union territories that would
    have faced a complete blackout
    MY POINT OF VIEW

    1. Increasing Demand.
    2. Irregular supply of coal.
    3. Supply of inferior quality coal to thermal power plants.
    4. Gaps between Targets and Achievements.
    5. Use of obsolete machinery.
    MY POINT OF VIEW

    6. Labour indiscipline.
    7. Lack of proper administration.
    8. Lack of efficient engineers, technicians and skilled labour.
    9. Unfavourable hydel-thermal mix.
    10. Public sector’s monopoly control over the generation of electricity.
