Telangana has set a new record for electricity consumption, reaching a peak demand of 17,162 MW on March 20, 2025. This surpasses the previous record of 15,623 MW set in 2024. Despite the surge in demand, the state government assures uninterrupted power supply across Telangana. The increase in demand is attributed to growth in the industrial, commercial, and IT sectors. The state government has taken proactive measures to meet the rising demand by expanding power generation capacity and improving transmission and distribution infrastructure since December 2023. Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu has commended the efforts of state power utilities in managing the peak load and has praised the employees for their dedication to ensuring reliable power supply.10:08 AM Mar 21, 2025 IST
