Tirupati's Urban Growth Strains Energy Resources, Study Finds

Tirupati, a famous temple city, is growing bigger with more people and visitors.

This means everyone needs more electricity for their homes and businesses, putting a strain on the city's power.

Many buildings also use a lot of energy because of old equipment.

The city gets a lot of sunshine but doesn't use much solar power, relying mostly on coal.

Researchers have found that the power lines are old and lose a lot of energy.

They suggest making energy saving a big part of planning how the city grows.

This includes using smarter power grids, encouraging solar panels on roofs, and making sure new buildings are energy efficient.

If these changes are made, Tirupati could use less energy and become a greener city.
