NEW DELHI: With cyclones hitting India’s eastern and western coast on a regular basis, the Union government is working on a plan to develop cyclone resilient power distribution and transmission infrastructure. This will ensure electricity to the coastal states, during these extreme weather events, people aware of the development said.
As parts of this playbook being put into play, the plan is to put in place this ‘cyclone resilient’ infrastructure in the coastal belt up to 20 km from the coastline and then progressively up to 60 km. Ensuring uninterrupted electricity supply holds the key to running emergency services such as hospitals, medical oxygen plants and test labs.
