Telangana Successfully Meets Record Peak Power Demand of 18,139 MW: Bhatti
Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu congratulated the senior officials and the entire staff of the state power utilities for efficiently handling the unprecedented demand without disruptions and ensuring quality power supply
Hyderabad: Telangana successfully met its highest ever electricity demand of 18,139 MW, recorded at 11.01 am on Tuesday, without any interruption. Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu congratulated power utility staff for ensuring uninterrupted supply. “This milestone reflects Telangana’s economic growth, operational efficiency, and excellent coordination,” he said.
Despite being geographically smaller, Telangana has matched or even surpassed the peak loads of larger states. Madhya Pradesh recently recorded around 19,900 MW, while Rajasthan registered between 19,600–20,600 MW. Officials said rapid expansion in IT, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and irrigation has driven the surge.
Bhatti noted that the state is fully prepared for upcoming summer peaks with advance planning, a robust grid system, and coordinated operations. “The power sector in Telangana is structured to drive development forward. From control rooms to field staff, it is the collective effort of every individual that made this achievement possible. Telangana is setting an example for other states,” he added.
