The 30 July 2012 India blackout affected over 300 million people and was the then-largest power outage in history, counting number of people affected, beating the January 2001 India blackout.
Causes of power blackout in India: Weak inter-regional power transmission corridors due to multiple existing outages (both scheduled and forced).
Effect of power blackout in India: Twenty of India's 28 states were hit by power cuts, along with the capital, New Delhi, when three of the country's five electricity grids failed at lunchtime.
