Hyderabad: At a time when Andhra Pradesh has become power surplus and is wooing investments, the Telangana government has dealt a severe blow to the industries in the State. As the gap between demand and supply has widened, the government, as part of load relief measures, has decided to double duration of power holiday to two days a week for the industrial sector from Wednesday.
Only recently, the power utilities had announced one day power holiday for industries. The latest decision sent shock waves among the managements of industries, who have already been bearing the brunt of power shortage since June when the State was bifurcated.
Telangana State Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (TSSPDCL) officials said that the increasing power demand by agriculture and domestic sectors had forced the SPDCL and TNPDCL (Telangana Northern Power Distribution Company Limited) to impose 48-hour power holiday for the industrial sector.
The total power demand in the State has been put at 155 MU (million units) as against the supply of only 120 MU during peak hours.
Schedule of power holiday
