Power failures

In India, there are power failures once in every three to four hours. Is it due to: lack of accountability in the government bureaucracy; inadequate infrastructure; lack of discipline on the part of consumers; large scale manufacture of sub-standard electrical gadgets in the country?

Or, perhaps, employees enjoy too much job security. Is it because of wastage of power in the agricultural, industrial, institutional and domestic sectors and power theft in the above sectors?

Or due to highly subsidised power tariff and almost zero consumer protection?
