NEW DELHI: Amid a deepening slowdown in the economy, power demand has stood out, growing almost 7 per cent on the back of the world’s largest new consumer addition programme that has taken electricity to almost every doorstep.
In an interview with PTI, Power Minister R K Singh on Wednesday said, “Now, we are at a stage where there is universal access to electricity in India. We have left some houses in Chhattisgarh and some hamlets in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. That has led to this growth in electrical industry sector (manufacturing of equipment).”
