Maharashtra pays Rs 330 crore for power as deficit rises | India News – Times of Nation
Energy minister Nitin Raut on Tuesday said the state is facing a shortfall of 3,500-4,000MW of electricity, and blamed the ‘mismanagement and a lack of planning’ on the part of central PSU Coal India Ltd for it.
At present, the state needs 17,500-18,000MW of electricity, and with the soaring October heat, the requirement may go up to 20,000MW. Officials said state-owned power plants have maximum two days’ stock and it’s likely that government may have to go in for load-shedding in some areas if supply doesn’t stabilise.
