Another massive failure, this time twice as many people without power.
I wouldn't want to be grid administrator or operator in India today.

Energy theft is also a big issue in India not to mention aging infrastructure. I doubt the the US and UK are in as bad a shape as India, I hate to think what would happen if there was a countrywide blackout in the UK, anarchy probably.

Maybe they need smart grid to reduce energy usage. Or they need more wind generators.
I wonder how states are to reduce, or control there populations energy usage? Some sort of rationing.

The Northern grid generation is composed of 28% hydroelectric some of which is not working because of lack of water.
