Gujarat soon to have 7,000mw surplus power: Narendra Modi​

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today said that the state would soon be having around 7,000mw of surplus power, and could help other power-starved states.

"We currently have 4,000mw of excess power and within a year or so we expect to have 7,000mw of surplus power that will help eradicate the darkness in the country," Modi said, addressing a gathering of women from public sector enterprises at Indian Institute of Management here.

"In 2001, when I came to power, the state was facing a shortfall of nearly 2,000mw. People used to come and request that there should be power supply at least during the dinner time.

"The situation has changed, from power deficit we are a power surplus state today," he said.

Modi noted that Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh had expressed concern over `the poor health of the power sector' (discoms) recently, but, despite all odds, Gujarat's electricity company was a profit making entity today, he said.

Anyway I'm not sure if it's official or speculation, however according Central Electric Authority report following states will be power surplus after 2012.

A CEA report dated April 2010 ('Power Scenario at a Glance') says that Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Uttarakhand, Delhi, West Bengal, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram are the eight states likely to have surplus power at the end of the XI Five Year Plan.

At the end of 2012, Delhi (peak surplus: 2,023 megawatts (MW), energy surplus: 23,344 million units (MUs); Sikkim (peak surplus: 1,214MW, energy surplus: 3,137 MUs); Uttarakhand (peak surplus: 772MW, energy surplus: 4,344 MUs) and Himachal Pradesh (peak surplus: 1,472MW, energy surplus: 4,609 MUs) are the States which will have significant surplus power.

I'm perplexed.

I recently toured Gujarat and I spoke to many autorickshaw drivers in many cities and trust me, apart from one, they all were singing praises for Modi.

One guy even said, "Hamare liye to Modi bhagwan hai.".

This was what I personally experienced.

Something doesn't seem right somewhere.
