1/16 An often discussed recent trend in electricity markets is the increased amount of negatively priced hours. Often, this increase is blamed on renewables. In fact, it is often caused by the inflexibility of bigger baseload units, like coal and nuclear plants..

UPA achieved average annual GDP growth of 7.8% over 10 years. If current fiscal year comes in at 7.3% as IMF says, that would be 7.2% average annual growth for 5 years of Modi. If re-elected, NDA-3 will need to average 8.4% per year just to match the UPA's record. Tall order. https://t.co/SlyvkTSUcS
