Question

we have been facing load shedding daily why?

Answer 1

While the rest of the state will continue facing load shedding in the next couple of weeks, for more than six hours in some cases, big cities such as Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai and Pune will be exempt.

The BJP government is facing sharp criticism over the unannounced power cuts at a time when the state is reeling under a heat spell.

It all began on Thursday when a sudden drop in 2,200 MW of power supply resulted in outages across the state, including Mumbai and the suburbs. A shortage of coal made things worse as the private power companies, too, failed to generate electricity to their routine capacity. The shortfall reduced slightly on Friday, enabling the government to stop load shedding in bigger cities, which have the lowest line losses occurring out of theft, leakages and low recovery of bills.
