Punjab Ends Power Cuts After Plant Restorations and Increased Supply
Punjab's Power Minister Tarunpreet Singh Sond announced that the state's electricity crisis has ended following the restoration of two private power plants. The government has ensured continuous 24x7 power supply across sectors and increased agricultural power supply by two hours. Sond attributed the earlier shortage to technical issues at plants, coal supply cuts, and reduced central power allocation. The state government highlighted its purchase of the Guru Amardas Thermal Plant as crucial in managing demand, now reaching a record 17,423 MW.
