India has progressed on the development front and is leading the world on various fronts. Another commendable thing for the country is that now India has set new milestones to meet the country's electricity demand as well. So that the people of the country do not have to face power crisis and they keep getting electricity continuously. On May 30 this year, when India's power demand reached an all-time high of 250 GW against the estimate of 235 Giga Watt (GW), thankfully there were no transmission problems anywhere in the country and there was no disruption in power supply. Dispatchers managing the National Control Center that directs the flow of electricity are now ready for the peak demand of 258 GW in the coming months. It is worth noting that this situation is in stark contrast to July 30 and 31, 2012. While India was going through the world's worst power crisis. At that time, the power grids in the north and east of the country shut down due to the huge demand for electricity. At that time, 62 crore people, or 9 percent of the world's population, had to face a 13-hour blackout due to power cuts. In July 2012, the highest demand for electricity was generated compared to previous years. The requirement was about 130 gigawatts.
The downside in July 2012 was that even in areas where excess power supply was available, power demand could not be met as the process of integration with other grids continued. The work was completed in December 2013.
