India: Worst blackout in decade leaves 300m without power

[Ajaxpaul]

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.

cut copy paste in every thread....that makes you a spammer and a troll.

looks like it's easy to shut down the electricity of the whole india in war.

yes you can off the electricity Switch and India will surrender. What a joker

Sushil Kumar Shinde (the minister for electric power) has been promoted to the post of Home Minister.

Load Sheeding @Pakistan: When the supplying company receives more demand for electrical power than its generating or transmission or installed capacity can deliver, the company has to resort to rationing of the available electricity to its customers. This act is called load shedding.

Grid Faliure: Briefly, failure occurs when excessive power is drawn by one or more areas. As a local grid may not support usage, other grids supply additional power to that area. If the automated system fails to recognize the additional usage, the overloaded grid may fail entirely, creating additional failures. This is how the last failure occurred within several power grids.

At one place you say whole world don't care about India, now you think image of India is ruined. Keep one stance. BTW when India gets a blackout, half of the global BPO work will halt. Imagine the impact on the entire world if it happens for few days.

super power india

 

[Punjabbi Munda]

Most of the power has been restored,it was a grid collapse due to overdrawing by some states not loadshedding.
Lol at the trolls,this can happen when excess electricity is withdrawn due to poor monsoon and the frequency fluctuates resulting in a trip.

 

[NotSoSuper]

Do you know even with less power consumption and larger generation, grid also fails/collapse.
