In next 48 hrs 25% of India will be in Dark !!!

Yes you heard it right!! There is huge power crisis staring in the face of the government of India. Starting from today NTPC India's largest power producer is left with only 10% of coal reserves, thanks to non availablitiy of coal from mines. The agitation in Telangana has already made already peculiar situation worse since large number of coal mines are in Telangana region.

The worst case it that out of 20 power plants 5 have coal reserves for only next 24 hrs. The goverenement blames its on torrential rains which has made mining difficult. On an urgent basis the governement has allowed power companies to import coal, but the time for coal to reach India is a matter of debate.

At present Maharashtra is providing only 11 hrs of power supply daily to its rural areas and 18 hrs to urban areas. Similarly situation in southern states is as peculiar as in power deficit states of north. But if nothing is done in next 48 hrs this load shedding will increase and leading to 25% of India facing power cut at a given point of time.
