El Nino conditions and erratic rainfall have the agriculture and energy sectors in Telangana this year, with farmers staring at an investment loss due to standing crops being impacted by lack of water for irrigation and problems in power supply. As a result, power utilities are forced to go for spot purchases of energy to the tune of at least 30 to 50 million units every day.
