PSPCL Strike Highlights Power distribution India Challenges
PSPCL and PSTCL have declared the 21-26 July mass leave period as dies non, while acknowledging that the industrial action affected electricity supply to consumers. Grid outage records also show Ropar Unit-3 (210 MW) remaining offline after its coal bunker emptied because of manpower shortages during the strike. The utilities had invoked Section 22(1) of the Industrial Disputes Act, warning of disciplinary action before issuing the dies non order. Administrative actions, including promotion reviews and staff transfers, followed immediately after the strike period.
The episode illustrates how workforce disruptions can directly affect power generation and utility operations.
