03 Dec 2020 2 Min Read CW Team

In November last year, electricity consumption in India was recorded at 93.94 billion units, as per government data. Power consumption had entered a good phase in September and recorded double-digit growth in October.

The decline in demand is being attributed to the early arrival of winter especially in the northern part of the country.

India's power consumption grew approximately 12% to 109.53 billion units in October this year, as against 97.84 billion units in the same month last year. Delhi recorded the coldest November in the past 71 years, as per the weather reports. Similar findings were reported in other parts of the country where the minimum temperature fell.
