Chronic shortages of electricity are damaging many Indian industries' ability to expand the economy.
Random electricity outages mean that workers at small factories in Thane, many of which make forged metal components, plastics or chemicals, are forced to spend half their shifts sitting idly waiting for machinery to come back to life. "This is not only costing us in terms of production; we are being forced to lay off workers," says Mr Khambete, head of Thane's small-scale industries association.

Problems only for Small Sector Industries(SSI)?
Big corporate houses don't seem to face such problems, only those unorganized small time companies suffers as there is no one to lobby or bribe.
Time to sell REL and buy Tata Power?
