Kerala State Electricity Board plans short-term power purchases to address expected deficits through December, citing low reservoir levels and increased demand.

• KSEB seeks short-term power purchases from June 15 to December 31, excluding September, to meet peak demand.
• Kerala faces potential power deficits of 900 MW until June 30, with projections of 600-1000 MW deficits in subsequent months.
• Low reservoir storage, below-normal monsoon forecasts, and increased northern state demand contribute to the power crisis.
