Areas under discom Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited that supplies power to only about 25% of Delhi’s 50 lakh power consumers faced the maximum outages. Tuesday’s consumption was nearly 9% more than the peak power demand of 6,000 MW recorded on the same day last year. Outages also occur due to unprecedented load rise in high power theft areas which lead to trippings and ‘burn out’ of distribution equipment.
