Uran to Face Twice-Weekly Water Cuts from October 27 Due to Ransai Dam Shortage
Uran will experience twice-weekly water cuts starting October 27 due to declining water levels at Ransai Dam, which supplies the region. The Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) has scheduled supply suspensions every Tuesday and Friday amid inadequate rainfall and the El Niño effect. Uran's daily water demand is about 41 million litres, with industry consuming the largest share. The state government mandated a 10% water cut from October 16, but Uran faces earlier and more specific restrictions to manage shortages.
