Better distribution may ease power sector woes: ETILC
At a time when India is looking to fight the global financial slowdown and surge ahead by adding trillions to its gross domestic product (GDP), the power sector in the country seems to be facing its own problems.
According to members of The Economic Times India Leadership Council, the country has overlooked solving the current issues of power generation and distribution, and has rather concentrated on deploying a plan to create capabilities in generating power from renewable sources.
Data from US-based independent and statistical analytics firm Energy Information Administration (EIA) show that India suffers from one of the highest levels of electricity transmission and distribution (T&D) losses globally.
