India is not a electricity surplus country practically, theoretically you can say so because government says it.
The public sector DISCOMS combined have a loan of about 4 lakh crore, so with huge burden of loan these companies have not been able to buy the complete electricity generated by the Thermal power plants. So theoretically we became electricity surplus country.
The government has just provided the fact that we are surplus and the reason has been kept away.
People...
more... know that electricity produced is more than the required but they don't know the reason.
Government is a political party after all, so they know how to twist the facts before presenting it to the people and take credit for it.
