KPDCL increases power curtailment by 2-2.5 hours citing reduced availability of electricity

Srinagar, Jan 18: Kashmir Power Distribution Company Limited (KPDCL) Thursday announced an increase in curtailment by 2 to 2.5 hours across Kashmir Valley during peak hours.

The move, KPDCL says is temporary in view of “reduced availability of electricity.”

“This is for the information of the general public that due to a drastic reduction in power generation resulting in reduced availability of power, KPDCL shall be forced to temporarily increase the curtailment by 2 to 2.5 hours across Kashmir Valley during peak hours,” KPDCL said in a post on X.

“The temporary increase shall be reversed as soon as sufficient power is available,” it said, adding, “The inconvenience caused is deeply regretted.”
