Power theft in India
By Ankita Agarwal on December 10, 2012
Power theft in IndiaThe development of power sector of a nation is closely linked to the overall economic growth of the nation. The importance of the power sector can therefore never be underestimated. India being a developing nation has, even more, to expect from this sector. But it is unfortunate that in spite of all the measures taken by the Central and State governments, the power sector organizations are still facing huge losses. Though people often curse the authorities in their respective areas every time when massive power failure occurs; there is something else also they need to know. The recent grid failure that occurred on July 30 and 31 this year which affected around 600 million people of the country was not solely a result of ineffective administration in the power sector. One important reason was the massive power theft that is so common in this country.
