 Reluctant consumers
Rathin Deb  |  Argues in support of  "Reluctant consumers"  |  1 year ago
Padmaja I agree with you. There is a price rise in each and every products so either the electricity provider has to take tough stand with the government and in case government is unwilling to initiate any action then the total theft amount...

If it rains in keral the first one affected is electricity .no body knows why the power is off.even before the rain stops showering, the power will come and soon shut off.In Tamil nadu the well has no water to drain out but govt gives free...
Padmaja Baskar  |  Argues in support of  "Reluctant consumers"  |  1 year ago
It has more to do with people who use electricity than the govt. The electricity theft is  a big issue. If we will try to fine all the people who are involved than half of the mid cap cities and rural area will be affected.   This theft is...

Power minister Sushil Kumar Shinde has told that soon half of India will get power private sector. In 2006 the particiaption of private sector was just 6% which has incread to 29% today. The benefits of privatisation are uninterrupted power supply , lesser power trips and no power cuts at all which comes at a little higher cost. The target for next five years is more than 100,000 megawatt of additional electricity capacity. Still the biggest problem is coal supply. Let us see how does the plan go and when is it implemented.
G SURESH  |  Commented  |  1 year ago
While it is true that the execution of projects is much better in the private sector when compared to the govt. sector, the overall addition of capacity is woefully short of requirements / demand. Reasons being problems in land acquisition, lack...

Thanks Padmaja for the information. Though everything may be fine but probably the cost will be high. Still lets wait and watch the situation. Why I am apprehensive since there are a score of corporate are going ahead with power generation.

I can see another price hike in petroleum! Why?? Well isn't that obvious the demand -supply principle? Iran has given notice to India. They will sto oil supply if the dispute over receiving payments from India is not resolved. National Iranian Oil Co (NIOC), the state oil firm that supplies around 12 percent of India's oil imports, set the deadline in a letter dated June 27 to Indian refiners. The official anyways told Fars that the letter was not sent officially by NIOC. Iran says India owes it $5 billion for oil imports in recent months. Earlier this year, Germany allowed India to pay for the oil via Hamburg-based EIH bank, which handles international trade for Iranian companies. But Indi...

We seem to be acting like fools as a nation to have stopped earlier working payment route under US pressure without thinking of an alternate route. This promotes a doubt that traitors are sitting in the seat of power in India who are having the...

Two points. 1. Iran's threat will not have any economic impact and won't affect India much economically. Nor would it lead to any spurt in international oil prices. Indian oil supplies are not threatened as Saudi Arabia has signed a deal with...

There should be a complete ban. Even a partial levarage will give rooms for dirty manouvering and loop holes to be exploited.
Padmaja Baskar  |  Argues in support of  "Ban"  |  1 year ago
It should be banned and if not then we as responsible citizen should know how to use things. We should say no to plastic if govt does not..

It is the lack of both these factors that leads to brain drain. If these were available here, then no one would even look towards the west. Actually both the points given here are the same. While the former states its positively, the latter states...

I agree with Ms. Padmaja Baskar, Mere motivation resource is not draining  India's Brain. But also, the working style, standard of living, scope for individual development , social status etc contribute a bit.
Padmaja Baskar  |  Argues in support of  "attraction of west and money"  |  1 year ago
Attraction towards money and better facility is the major reason. Motivation is not only factor but they look for the possibility of better equipments , better facility and best outcome..

offcourse , lot of competition is there, and if they will not do so then it will harm themselves only.

It would not go down as swiftly as we are thinking. The competition and the price war is on since long but that has helped just a little..

Thermal and Hydro energy can be used for good but I am not quite sure about solar and wind energy. Our demand for power is more and hence we can't rely on any one form of energy source.. But even in current scenario nuclear power can be avoided..
