Rural areas are the most severely affected; it is
common for the 44% of rural households having
access to electricity to lose power for more than 12
hours each day.
The states periodically and chronically affected by load-shedding
are Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil
Nadu, Bihar, Odisha, Assam, Maharashtra, Madhya

of Punjab, Goa, Gujarat and Kerala are largely free of any
load-shedding due to surplus power. Karnataka still
occasionally experiences power cuts
