Rampant Corruption, Gross Negligence, Terrible planning,.... you name a dysfunction and the Indian Electricity distribution system has it. A sample statistic - a while back there was a study on Transmission & Distribution losses in the Power grid. US - 6-7% T&D Loss India - 25-30% (conservative) Just think about that - 30% of power generated in India NEVER reaches the intended consumer. A lot of it gets lost due to poor connectors, some of it is stolen, some of it is "diverted" by cronies of the officials.
