Karnataka manages 1,000 MW power shortage through external procurement
What happened
Karnataka is currently facing a power shortage of approximately 1,000 MW. The state has been managing the electricity situation for several months by procuring additional power from other states, including Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. The thermal plant located in Raichur is undergoing repairs, and power generation from renewable sources has declined due to cloudy weather and reduced wind.
