The milestone was achieved without imposing any power cuts across various sectors for the first time since India\u2019s independence.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Power Minister Harbhajan Singh attributed this success to the proactive leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, whose direction ensured early paddy sowing and seamless coordination across the energy infrastructure.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) played a pivotal role in achieving this feat. The state&#8217;s record-breaking energy demand came just a day after the final phase of advanced paddy sowing commenced on June 9, 2025, in line with the government\u2019s decision to prepone the sowing to June 1st this year. PSPCL&#8217;s swift and strategic response enabled the state to break its previous demand record the very next day.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Minister Harbhajan Singh lauded the effective integration of in-state and out-of-state power generation resources, interstate power banking, and optimal use of the transmission network. He emphasized that the coordinated efforts ensured uninterrupted power to agriculture, residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, even at peak demand.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Agricultural consumers were receiving more than eight hours of continuous power supply daily, without any curtailment to other sectors. \u201cThis is a landmark moment. For the first time after independence, Punjab has managed its peak power demand season without resorting to power cuts,\u201d said the Minister.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>He extended his gratitude to PSPCL CMD Ajoy Kumar Sinha, the board of directors, and all employees for their dedication and efficient handling of the power supply system. \u201cTheir hard work and preparedness ensured that every sector, especially farmers during the paddy season, received reliable power,\u201d he noted.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>This achievement reflects the government\u2019s commitment to strengthening power infrastructure and improving service delivery. Under CM Bhagwant Singh Mann\u2019s governance, Punjab is striving towards energy self-sufficiency while ensuring citizen-centric outcomes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Minister said such milestones boost investor\u2019s confidence in the most suitable industrial climate of Punjab and enhance the quality of life for its residents\u2014demonstrating that with visionary leadership and effective execution, power challenges can be turned into achievements.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab News: In a historic achievement in Punjab\u2019s power sector, the state successfully met an all-time high peak power demand of 16,192 MW on June 10, 2025\u2014surpassing the previous record of 16,058 MW set on June 29, 2024.
