Didn't realise so many people are without power! This bit made me laugh...

About two hours after the grid failure, power ministry authorities said some alternate arrangements had been made. “We are taking hydro power from Bhakhra Nangal Dam,” in northern India, said Sushil Kumar Shinde, the power minister, in a televised interview.

I think that was his point.

Not that I agree it was going to be a typical response. In fact being ironic about it is nearly as bad as being that ignorant.

when I was in Goa last year they had power cuts every single day over there

Need some investment in their infrastructure - certainly if they are classed as a growing economy
