Long power outage impedes productivity of SME units in Jharkhand

Ranchi, May 22 (KNN) Entrepreneurs in the industrial areas of Ranchi, Ramgarh and other districts of Jharkhand have complained that they are unable to deliver their orders on time due to long-drawn power cuts, reported TOI. 

The Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the state are also incurring loss due to power cuts.

This comes under the command areas of state run discom Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited (JBVNL).

Entrepreneurs told TOI that they are being forced to halt production in their units anywhere between three to 15 hours.

Several unit owners are now looking for land parcels in the industrial areas under the command areas of Damodar Valley Corporation and other discoms to ensure uninterrupted supply.

The Jharkhand Small Industries Association, the umbrella outfit of micro, small and medium enterprises, has been demanding an overhaul of JBVNL's functioning. 

The JSIA has repeatedly urged the state government to hand over JBVNL to a professionally managed company.   (KNN Bureau)
