 The India Meteorological Department needs to better tailor(shape) its forecast for farmers
 Forecast wrong this year
 In April, the IMD had predicted “near normal”, or 96%, rains and then upgraded the • figure to 98% a
couple of months later.
 However, the country • finally ended up with “below normal” rains (that is, less than 96% of the
50-year long period average).
 Crop sowing is expected to be only a little less than last year
 Better drought management weakened the link between rain shortfall and food production
 Ripple effects of tricking everyone from policymakers to the stock markets

 What India needs to do for reliability(विश्वसनीयता), security and affordability of electric supply.
 The cost of electricity can be divided into plant-level costs, grid-level costs, and other costs.
 For nuclear power plants, capital cost is high, but fuelling cost is low.
 For coal-fired power plants, capital cost is low, but fuelling cost is high.
 The capital cost of solar and wind is continuously decreasing; fuelling cost is nil.
 Electricity reaches a consumer through the grid- Laying a grid needs significant investment
 A distributor buys electricity from a generator, adds transmission and distribution charges, a charge to
recover technical losses, operating expenses, and his profit to determine the tariff to be charged from
a consumer

 Highlights the loss of generation efficiency, high
maintenance cost, and higher emissions of
combined cycle plants due to cycling and ramping
 Economic Survey 2016-17 (Volume 2), an attempt
has been made to estimate grid-level costs and
some other costs
 India’s electricity requirements are enormous
