For the first time in the past 3-4 years, industries inTelangana will be facing no power holidays this summer, thanks to the dramatic improvement in power supply situation helped by a host of factors.

In March last year industries were subjected to a one-day power holiday, which was subsequently increased to two days a week in the following month. The situation in the earlier years were also not too different for the industry.

"The power demand remains almost the same as compared to last year. But some advance planning and other factors helped us in ensuring continuous power supply for the industrial sector during this summer," D Prabhakara Rao, chairman and managing director of Telangana state Genco and Transco told Business Standard.

For a power-deficit state this is a dramatic turnaround in such a short period even though an additional 1,800 mw of installed capacity is expected to be added to the grid in Telangana only in the course of next 7-11 month period. According to Rao, around 1,050 mw of power is being purchased on a daily basis to meet the requirements through out the summer season.
