A deepening power crisis in Punjab has severely impacted industries and agriculture, causing an estimated loss of 100 crore rupees to industrial units in the Mohali hub. Factory owners reported receiving only 12 hours of electricity instead of the required 24 hours, alongside frequent unscheduled cuts that severely disrupted manufacturing operations, supply timelines, and machine-dependent processes. The crisis has triggered a sharp political confrontation, with opposition parties including the BJP, Shiromani Akali Dal, and Congress staging protests against the Aam Aadmi Party-led state government. In response to mounting pressure from industrialists and farmers, the Punjab government initiated administrative changes, transferring senior IAS officer Basant Garg and appointing IAS officer Gurkirat Kirpal Singh as the Chief Managing Director of Punjab State Power Corporation Limited. State authorities have stated that regular supply measures are being restored.
