There was a setback to Indian industrial power generation this week. At least a dozen power generators have shut down in the Indian state of Gujarat, according to some reports.
The shutdowns are credited to a decreased demand for power, which seems kind of odd for such a brisk economy. Though there have been some heavy rains that may account for the drop off. The power generation decrease of these twelve generators accounts for over a quarter of the state's power generation, bringing total power from 13,354 MW to less than 10,000 MW.
As farming and agriculture continue to take hits from the weather, it looks like power production will continue to stay low in Gujarat, which has suffered sub-par power production since July of this year. Some private power generators like Gujarat Industries Power Company Limited have been shut down completely in recent days.
Hopefully this beleaguered Indian state can get back up to snuff in the power generation department. Paying for infrastructure is a costly affair, and having a dozen power generators sit inoperable exacerbates an already poor situation.
