💡Saw the release from the @MinOfPower today and it made me think of how far India has come with regards to the electricity deficit and related issues we saw a decade or so ago.

In 2012, India witnessed one of the worst blackouts in modern history. Over 600 million people across, mostly in northern and eastern India lost power after the grid collapsed under pressure. Trains stopped, traffic signals failed, and entire cities left in darkness.

At the time, power cuts were still a normal part of life in many parts of India. Peak shortages were high, demand regularly outpaced supply, and the grid infrastructure simply wasn’t robust enough for a fast-growing economy.

What makes the contrast striking today is that India is now touching over 270 GW of peak electricity demand during an intense nationwide heatwave...and still managing to keep the grid largely stable.

Just in the last few days, India broke consecutive daytime peak demand records:
~260 GW - 265 GW

This is a massive leap from where the country stood a decade or so ago.

👉A lot has changed since 2014:

~Large-scale expansion of power generation
~Rapid growth in solar × renewables
~Stronger interstate transmission
~Better grid coordination
~increased electrification
~Significant reduction in electricity deficits

India has effectively moved from being a power-deficit nation to one that can now manage some of the world’s largest electricity loads in real time. (https://t.co/VGPGcVZU14)

Interestingly, Reuters recently reported that in some regions India is now even curtailing solar generation at times to maintain grid stability... a problem very different from the shortages and blackouts of the past.

Of course, challenges remain. Distribution losses, storage capacity, coal logistics during peak summers, and renewable balancing are all real issues. But compared to the India of the 2000s and early 2010s, the improvement in grid resilience and power availability has been enormous.

India’s power sector doesnt get the credit like say India's highways, railways or airports do... But quietly, over the last decade, it has undergone one of the biggest infra transformations.

This is a story worth acknowledging.👌👍

I travelled through Great Nicobar today.

These are the most extraordinary forests I have ever seen in my life. Trees older than memory. Forests that took generations to grow.

The people on this island are equally beautiful - both the adivasi communities and the settlers - but they are being robbed of what is rightfully theirs.

The government calls what it is doing here a “Project.” What I have seen is not a project. It is millions of trees marked for the axe. It is 160 square kilometres of rainforest condemned to die. It is communities that have been ignored while their homes have been snatched away.

This is not development. This is destruction dressed in development’s language.

So I will say it plainly, and I will keep saying it: what is being done in Great Nicobar is one of the biggest scams and gravest crimes against this country’s natural and tribal heritage in our lifetime.

It must be stopped. And it can be stopped - if Indians choose to see what I have seen.

🔥 @INCIndia “patriotism” for you!
Just 22 months after 26/11 — with 166 Indian martyrs’ blood still fresh — S.M. Krishna smirks in Rajya Sabha on 31 Aug 2010: “$25 MILLION aid to Pakistan!”
funding the same terror factory under fake “flood relief”!

Pakistan First. India Never!
