Ambati Raydu :- I think RCB won last year as well , i feel GT deserves this one so I support GT tonight
ABD :- No , I think he still feels that CSK will come and win today's finals ( Everyone laughs😂)
AB Devillers didn't even hesitated before cooking Raydu and CSK😭🔥
India's peak power demand hit 260 GW yesterday. New all-time record. During a heatwave with 47°C temperatures across North India.
The grid held. No blackouts. That sentence alone is an engineering achievement most people will not appreciate.
Five years ago India had chronic power deficits. Load shedding was normal. In 2023, peak demand hit 243 GW and several states struggled. In April 2026, the grid delivered 260 GW without a single major failure.
What changed: 26.5 GW of new capacity added in FY26 — largest annual addition in a decade. Solar alone contributed 18 GW. New HVDC transmission corridors connecting surplus regions to deficit ones. Battery storage deployments cushioning peak load.
But the margin is razor thin. India's grid is designed for about 270 GW. We just touched 260 GW. That is 96% utilisation during peak hours. One more heatwave spike or an unexpected plant outage and the buffer disappears.
This is why every power stock hit 52-week highs. The market sees what the headlines miss — India needs $150 billion in power infrastructure investment over five years just to keep up. Data centres, EVs, semiconductor fabs, industrial expansion — all need reliable 24/7 power. The grid is the bottleneck holding everything else together.
