Published: May 05 2025, 11 ameznews.inIndia temporarily halted water flow from the Baglihar dam on the Chenab River as a warning to Pakistan following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 25 lives.

India is also considering similar measures for the Kishanganga Dam near Bandipore. Both projects have faced objections from Pakistan, which claims they violate treaty terms and confer a strategic advantage to India. Despite these tensions, a World Bank arbitration ruled in India's favor regarding the Kishanganga project. Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the Pahalgam attack, asserting that the perpetrators would face severe consequences. Pakistan has warned that any further water restrictions could be viewed as an act of war, threatening to suspend bilateral agreements, including the Simla Agreement.

Published: May 05 2025, 11 ameznews.inSpain and Portugal's recent blackout underscores the critical need for stable energy grids, a lesson familiar to India, which experienced a massive power failure in 2012 affecting 400 million people. As India expands its renewable energy capacity—85% of the 34 gigawatts added last year came from renewables—there is an urgent need to invest in grid stability and data management to prevent similar disruptions. While the government prioritizes renewable energy to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and lower costs, it must also address the complexities of integrating new energy sources and consumers into the grid. Estimates for the necessary investment in grid improvements range from $107 billion to $500 billion. Moreover, issues of corporate governance in the renewable sector have emerged, highlighting the importance of regulatory oversight. As India aims to increase its per-capita energy consumption, a robust and well-managed grid will be essential to avoid blackouts in the future.
