India's Power Grid Faces Summer Scare Due to Overdraw

India's Power Grid Faces Summer Scare Due to Overdraw

Imagine India's power grid like a busy highway for electricity.

Last week, too much electricity was trying to flow at once, like too many cars on the road.

This caused a 'traffic jam' on the grid, making it unstable.

This happened because people needed more electricity due to the heat.

To fix this, officials asked power companies to reduce how much they were using.

The government is working on building bigger 'highways' (grid expansion) to prevent these problems in the future, but it's taking time.
