To plug winter evening shortage, 6 states seek extra power via short-term tenders
To address winter evening power shortages, six states—Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Keralam—are seeking extra electricity through short-term tenders. They aim to secure supplies for November and December at prices between ₹8.99 and ₹41.50 per unit. This move comes amid rising demand and unusual weather patterns, with further tenders planned into early 2024.
