It won't be surprising to pretty much any Indian. When was the last time you visited the country?

Maharashtra staring at load shedding as 13 coal-run power plants shut down - https://m.economictimes.com/industry/energy/power/maharashtra-staring-at-load-shedding-as-13-coal-run-power-plants-shut-down/articleshow/86926661.cms https://m.economictimes.com/industry/energy/power/maharashtr... Is that recent enough for you? And these are urban areas, not rural ones that are lower priority. I’ve actually lived in a rural area for several years. For a couple of those years we only had electricity for 10 hours out of 24.
- dartharva 5y agoYes, power cuts and load-shedding are frequent, but not so much that it'd be an object of surprise for Indians abroad. Everyone is aware that electricity is something that's supposed to be on 24/7 even though it often isn't. You seemed to imply Indians are so starved for continuous electricity it will astound them if they actually witness it.
