Punjab industry faces extended power cuts as crisis worsens

Punjab's power sector is facing a severe crisis, with industrial consumers bearing the brunt of extended electricity cuts. Daily power outages for industries have escalated to 14 hours, a significant jump from the four-hour cuts seen previously.

The deepening power crisis has emerged as a critical challenge for Punjab's industrial sector, threatening production capacity and economic output. The state's power distribution infrastructure is struggling to meet demand, prompting authorities to implement progressively longer load-shedding schedules.
