Power officials had managed to restore the northern grid by Monday evening, but at 01:05pm (0735 GMT) on Tuesday, the grid collapsed again.

The eastern grid failed around the same time, officials said.

Heard that Air Conditioners are putting a huge load on the grid and that's the cause of the collapse.

India hit by 2nd huge power outage, larger than before

The power grid collapse on Monday was the country's worst blackout in a decade and affected seven states in northern India, home to more than 350 million people. But Tuesday's failure appeared to be even larger, hitting eastern and northeastern areas, as well. Both blackouts hit the capital, New Delhi.

The companies that operate the northern and eastern electricity grids reported the collapse Tuesday on their websites. And at least 300 trains have been held up in the affected regions, said Anil Kumar Saxena, a spokesman for Indian Railways.

People are dying there. Untold numbers of emergencies are taking place.

Pakistan must be looking on in astonishment. Maybe they're even considering something invasive....

This event could really spiral into something bad in a hurry!

Is this definitely all related to electrical load or is there a chance this could be a variant of Stuxnet?

Interesting. The middle class and their A.C.s are now big enough to cause the collapse of the country's power grid.

Is this unheard of, something of this extent? The biggest or second biggest country population wise in the world, a nuclear power and growing economic power is experiencing the complete collapse of it's power grid?
