India: Worst blackout in decade leaves 300m without power

[RayKalm]

But, even if this is a different situation. India has plenty of daily loadsheddings.

This is a very rare failure.

**** happens with electrical systems specially in summers with atmosperic heat at the peak supplemented by more than normal pressure on the electrical networks. btw how many different networks are used to isolate such incidents, is it like north, south and central or somthing else?

In 2003 a massive failure of this type happened in North America.

Hopefully with more N plants and dams India's grid will be able to deal with higher demand in the future.

Yup...and all children can play Chuppan Chupai....

US also had blackout for 4 days, so by going with your POV, anyone can destroy entire US as it takes 4 days to solve their blackout problem.

India is a third world country. With a lot of hype around how we can compare to China but with 1/10th of China's potential. I know all of us have national pride but its time to ask ourselves just what this country is giving us. If it cant even guarantee us a basic quality of life then why should we continue our pride. And has the current government done anything to improve the situation. Shinde should be fired, he keeps giving false assurances which shows how much he knows. Someone who worked at the Grid sai d this time it could take weeks to resolve.
