Power crunch brings down textile production by 50% in Panipat

Panipat, May 3 (KNN) Textile production in the Panipat city of Haryana has been reduced by 50 per cent due to the unscheduled power cuts in  the day and night time. 

The power cuts are a result of the gap between demand and availability of power which is more than 50 lakh units per day.

As the unscheduled cuts also take place during the night time units are forced to shut their night shift. 

Pritam Singh Sachdeva, president, Panipat Industrial Association, said that industries here have been badly hit due to the power crisis which is increasing day by day. 

The Superintending Engineer, UHBVN, SS Dhull informed the industries that the headquarters has issued new schedule for power cuts which imposes an eight-hour power cut on industry. (KNN Bureau)
