Telangana Storage Decline Impacts Power generation India
Telangana's reservoir storage has fallen sharply compared with last year, leaving the state's usable Krishna-basin storage at about 39.6 TMC on 15 July 2026. Srisailam and Nagarjunasagar recorded major year-on-year declines, reducing hydroelectric support during the monsoon season and increasing dependence on thermal generation and power exchanges.
The lower storage levels coincide with reduced generation availability at the Yadadri thermal power station, creating additional pressure on electricity supply. While future monsoon inflows could improve reservoir levels, the current year-on-year deficit remains operationally significant.
The development demonstrates how water availability continues to influence Power generation India, especially during periods of high electricity demand. EnergylineIndia.com tracks verified Indian Power news and Hydro power projects for the latest sector updates.
