New Delhi : India’s power consumption grew 1.64 per cent to 114.64 billion units in October compared to the year-ago period, according to government data. The power consumption rose only marginally in October, mainly due to incessant unseasonal rains which kept the mercury levels low and reduced the use of cooling appliances.
However, experts said power consumption and demand will further increase in the coming months due to use of heating appliance especially in the northern part of the country, and improvement in economic activities on account of the beginning of the new rabi crop season.
The farmers use electricity to run tubewells for irrigation for new crops.
