Power demand continued its growth momentum in September, logging a 10-12% growth on-year to a five year high of 140-142 billion units (BU), but declined 7% on-month after what was the driest August in nearly a decade, CRISIL MI&A estimates indicate.
In fact, post the deficit monsoon pan India in August, the recovery in September still could not prevent two successive months of all-time high peak power demand - 238 GW in August followed by a higher 240 GW in September.
