NEW DELHI, India About 600 million people lost power in India on Tuesday
when the countrys northern and eastern electricity grids failed, crippling
the country for a second consecutive day.
.
The outage stopped hundreds of trains in their tracks, darkened traffic
lights, shuttered the Delhi Metro and left everyone from the police to
water utilities to private businesses and citizens without electricity.
About half of Indias population of 1.2 billion people was without power.
.
Manoranjan Kumar, an economic advisor with the Ministry of Power, said in
a telephone interview that the grids had failed and that the ministry was
working to figure out the source of the problem. The northern and eastern
grids cover 11 states and the capital city of Delhi, stretching from
Indias northern tip in Kashmir to Rajasthan to West Bengals capital of
Kolkata.
.
The failure happened without warning just after 1:00 p.m., electric
company officials said.

.
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.
.
India has struggled to generate enough power of its own to fuel businesses
and light homes, and the country relies on huge imports of coal and oil to
power its own plants. But supply and demand may not explain away this
weeks grid failures, power executives said.
.
The failure on Tuesday affected roughly twice as many people as the
massive power outage the previous day, when the northern power grid failed
and left more than 300 million people without power for several hours.
