Unscheduled load shedding of electricity is affecting industrial productivity as well as export orders commitment.
Anjuman-e-Tajran-e-Hyderabad President Saleem Vohra, Electronic Association President Ikram Guddu, Tajran-e-Latifabad President Aslam Shaikh Muhammad Younus and others said on Wednesday that the process of manufacturing of various export items takes a long time and requires smooth power supply.
They said electricity load shedding causes huge losses to manufacturers and also renders the timely completion of export orders difficult.
They further pointed out that many factories located in Hyderabad SITE areas were facing 8 to 10 hours of continuous load shedding and their business was being affected as a result.
They also urged the HESCO authorities to minimise the load shedding process through proper planning and appropriate load management so that industrial manufacturing activity is not disrupted.
