On May 30, India’s power demand reached an unprecedented 250 gigawatts (GW), surpassing the projected 235 GW, yet the national transmission network remained stable without unscheduled outages. Preparations are underway for a peak demand of 258 GW in the coming months. This contrasts sharply with the massive outage in July 2012, when grid overload plunged 620 million people into darkness.
