Power deficit nearly wiped out, says Modi government
NEW DELHI: India’s power deficit this year ‘spiked marginally’ to 1.2% due to the annual post-monsoon pressure on output, the ministry of power said in a statement on Monday, adding that this deficit has nearly been wiped out over the last three years.
“India had a massive power deficit of -16.6% in 2007-08. Even in 2011-12, it was -10.6%. Through the multi-pronged, comprehensive and aggressive interventions of the government, this deficit is near about wiped out, consistently over the last three years: -.4% in 2020-21, -.7% in 2019-20 and -.8% in 2018-19,” the Ministry said in a statement on Monday.
