Photo credit: IANS NEW DELHI: Electricity consumption in May rose nearly 11% year-on-year, driven by hot weather conditions prevailing across the country for most of the month, leading to increased use of air-conditioners in domestic and commercial sectors.Grid India data showed that 165 billion units (BU) of electricity were consumed in May this year, compared with 148.7 BU during same month last year. Consumption rose by over 7% compared with April, which saw 154 BU being consumed.  Watch India Battles Extreme Heatwave As Record Power Demand Pushes Electricity Grid Under Severe StressAccording to India Meteorological Department (IMD), the number of heatwave days in second half of May was higher than in previous years, resulting in increased demand for electricity. Demand started rising from May 11 and breached the previous all-time high for four consecutive days, hitting a record 270.8 GW on May 21. However, it saw a steady decline in latter part of month. Before May, the highest power demand had been recorded at 256.1 GW on April 25.There were 10 days in May when peak demand exceeded 250 GW. Subdued weather had kept power demand in check last May, and it crossed the 230-GW mark only twice during the month. Peak demand in May 2025 was 231 GW, while the season’s highest demand was recorded at 242.7 GW in June. Total electricity consumption in June 2025 stood at 150 BU.With govt projecting a harsh summer this year due to El Niño conditions, power demand is likely to remain high in June. Peak demand, however, is unlikely to set another record this month given that the southwest monsoon is expected to reach Kerala in next few days.About the AuthorAtul MathurAtul Mathur is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India with over 27 years of experience in journalism.

CBSE headquarters (Image used only for representation) NEW DELHI: Hours after the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) launched its much-anticipated verification and re-evaluation portal for Class 12 students on Tuesday, the board reported a series of “cyber threats” targeting the platform.According to CBSE, at one point, the portal received nearly 15 lakh hits within just two minutes as an attempt to deny students access to the platform. The board also detected more than one lakh attempts to gain unauthorised access to files, which it attributed to the activities of “malicious actors” seeking to disrupt services.  Watch From Portal Crashes To Wrong Answer Sheets Inside CBSE’s OSM Crisis”The CBSE re-evaluation portal is currently supporting more than 8,000 concurrent users.
