Five-Hour Evening Power Cuts in Ludhiana Affect Residential and Industrial Areas
Ludhiana has experienced five-hour power cuts from 7pm to midnight for three consecutive days due to power shortages and grid stability efforts by Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL). Restrictions initially targeted residential feeders but have expanded to include industrial feeders, severely impacting production schedules, especially in small and medium enterprises. Industry representatives highlight challenges such as machine downtime and increased costs, while residents face discomfort amid hot weather. PSPCL continues to monitor and manage feeder loads to balance demand and supply.
