&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;India&#039;s power revolution seems to have run out of steam due to transmission and distribution losses. The country is losing a huge quota of power to faulty distribution networks and power theft every year. The losses, experts say, are currently 29 %of the total generation, which equals a shocking Rs 45,000 crore in the fiscal year 2009-10 . The drop in losses since 2001 is a negligible 3% . President Pratibha Patil was apprised of this fact at a power conclave in the city.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;According to experts, if not for these losses over a decade now, India could have built two mega power plants of around 4,000 MW capacity every year. Such a big amount of power would have not only ended shortage of power in the country by helping create 8,000 MW units every year but would have even resulted in a surplus.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Chairman of India-Tech Governing Council R V Shahi , who was formerly union power secretary, on Wednesday , last week pointed out the details of power losses to Patil and Union Power Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde at the three-day international conclave held in BKC.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;At present, the country&#039;s transmission and distribution (T&amp;amp;D ) loss is oscillating in the range of 30% and government&#039;s efforts to reduce it to 15 % have been failing for the past five years. &amp;quot;A group headed by the comptroller and accountant general is expected to suggest measures for reduction,&amp;quot; said another power expert who was present at the conference.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Power loss in 2001-02 was 32.86% and increased to 34.78% in 2003-04 . In 2008-09 , it stood at 28.44% but currently the figure is again 29%. It is as high as 51% in Jharkhand, 45% in Madhya Pradesh and 40% in Bihar.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Chief Minister Ashok Chavan too said that power loss and theft were adversely affecting the state&#039;s capacity enhancement efforts. Tariff hikes were also triggering social problems, he added.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Patil called for urgent planning and execution of &#039;energy revolution&#039; to meet the challenge. She asked stakeholders in the power sector to strictly adhere to the criteria of high-energy efficiency and green buildings. Patil asked power sector participants to immediately work towards improving performance of existing power generating units as this was less time consuming than setting up a new plant. Though the installed capacity of the country is over 160,000 MW, the per capital consumption is around 704 to 712 units per month with a T&amp;amp;D loss of 29%. The peak demand is 120,000. Shinde said that for the first time ever, India had added approximately 9,588 MW within a year. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;India&#039;s power revolution seems to have run out of steam due to transmission and distribution losses. The country is losing a huge quota of power to faulty distribution networks and power theft every year. The losses, experts say, are currently 29 %of the total generation, which equals a shocking Rs 45,000 crore in the fiscal year 2009-10 . The drop in losses since 2001 is a negligible 3% . President Pratibha Patil was apprised of this fact at a power conclave in the city.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;According to experts, if not for these losses over a decade now, India could have built two mega power plants of around 4,000 MW capacity every year. Such a big amount of power would have not only ended shortage of power in the country by helping create 8,000 MW units every year but would have even resulted in a surplus.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Chairman of India-Tech Governing Council R V Shahi , who was formerly union power secretary, on Wednesday , last week pointed out the details of power losses to Patil and Union Power Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde at the three-day international conclave held in BKC.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;At present, the country&#039;s transmission and distribution (T&amp;amp;D ) loss is oscillating in the range of 30% and government&#039;s efforts to reduce it to 15 % have been failing for the past five years. &amp;quot;A group headed by the comptroller and accountant general is expected to suggest measures for reduction,&amp;quot; said another power expert who was present at the conference.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Power loss in 2001-02 was 32.86% and increased to 34.78% in 2003-04 . In 2008-09 , it stood at 28.44% but currently the figure is again 29%. It is as high as 51% in Jharkhand, 45% in Madhya Pradesh and 40% in Bihar.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Chief Minister Ashok Chavan too said that power loss and theft were adversely affecting the state&#039;s capacity enhancement efforts. Tariff hikes were also triggering social problems, he added.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Patil called for urgent planning and execution of &#039;energy revolution&#039; to meet the challenge. She asked stakeholders in the power sector to strictly adhere to the criteria of high-energy efficiency and green buildings. Patil asked power sector participants to immediately work towards improving performance of existing power generating units as this was less time consuming than setting up a new plant. Though the installed capacity of the country is over 160,000 MW, the per capital consumption is around 704 to 712 units per month with a T&amp;amp;D loss of 29%. The peak demand is 120,000. Shinde said that for the first time ever, India had added approximately 9,588 MW within a year. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The losses, experts say, are currently 29 %of the total generation, which equals a shocking Rs 45,000 crore in the fiscal year 2009-10 . The drop in losses since 2001 is a negligible 3% . President Pratibha Patil was apprised of this fact at a power conclave in the city.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;According to experts, if not for these losses over a decade now, India could have built two mega power plants of around 4,000 MW capacity every year. Such a big amount of power would have not only ended shortage of power in the country by helping create 8,000 MW units every year but would have even resulted in a surplus.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Chairman of India-Tech Governing Council R V Shahi , who was formerly union power secretary, on Wednesday , last week pointed out the details of power losses to Patil and Union Power Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde at the three-day international conclave held in BKC.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;At present, the country&#039;s transmission and distribution (T&amp;amp;D ) loss is oscillating in the range of 30% and government&#039;s efforts to reduce it to 15 % have been failing for the past five years. &amp;quot;A group headed by the comptroller and accountant general is expected to suggest measures for reduction,&amp;quot; said another power expert who was present at the conference.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Power loss in 2001-02 was 32.86% and increased to 34.78% in 2003-04 . In 2008-09 , it stood at 28.44% but currently the figure is again 29%. It is as high as 51% in Jharkhand, 45% in Madhya Pradesh and 40% in Bihar.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Chief Minister Ashok Chavan too said that power loss and theft were adversely affecting the state&#039;s capacity enhancement efforts. Tariff hikes were also triggering social problems, he added.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Patil called for urgent planning and execution of &#039;energy revolution&#039; to meet the challenge. She asked stakeholders in the power sector to strictly adhere to the criteria of high-energy efficiency and green buildings. Patil asked power sector participants to immediately work towards improving performance of existing power generating units as this was less time consuming than setting up a new plant. Though the installed capacity of the country is over 160,000 MW, the per capital consumption is around 704 to 712 units per month with a T&amp;amp;D loss of 29%. The peak demand is 120,000. Shinde said that for the first time ever, India had added approximately 9,588 MW within a year. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Power thefts cost India Rs 45k crore in 2009-'10 by Chittaranjan Tembhekar

India's power revolution seems to have run out of steam due to transmission and distribution losses. The country is losing a huge quota of power to faulty distribution networks and power theft every year. The losses, experts say, are currently 29 %of the total generation, which equals a shocking Rs 45,000 crore in the fiscal year 2009-10 . The drop in losses since 2001 is a negligible 3% . President Pratibha Patil was apprised of this fact at a power conclave in the city. According to experts, if not for these losses over a decade now, India could have built two mega power plants of around 4,000 MW capacity every year. Such a big amount of power would have not only ended shortage of power in the country by helping create 8,000 MW units every year but would have even resulted in a surplus. Chairman of India-Tech Governing Council R V Shahi , who was formerly union power secretary, on Wednesday , last week pointed out the details of power losses to Patil and Union Power Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde at the three-day international conclave held in BKC. At present, the country's transmission and distribution (T&D ) loss is oscillating in the range of 30% and government's efforts to reduce it to 15 % have been failing for the past five years. "A group headed by the comptroller and accountant general is expected to suggest measures for reduction," said another power expert who was present at the conference. Power loss in 2001-02 was 32.86% and increased to 34.78% in 2003-04 . In 2008-09 , it stood at 28.44% but currently the figure is again 29%. It is as high as 51% in Jharkhand, 45% in Madhya Pradesh and 40% in Bihar. Chief Minister Ashok Chavan too said that power loss and theft were adversely affecting the state's capacity enhancement efforts. Tariff hikes were also triggering social problems, he added. Patil called for urgent planning and execution of 'energy revolution' to meet the challenge. She asked stakeholders in the power sector to strictly adhere to the criteria of high-energy efficiency and green buildings. Patil asked power sector participants to immediately work towards improving performance of existing power generating units as this was less time consuming than setting up a new plant. Though the installed capacity of the country is over 160,000 MW, the per capital consumption is around 704 to 712 units per month with a T&D loss of 29%. The peak demand is 120,000. Shinde said that for the first time ever, India had added approximately 9,588 MW within a year.
