TEA Welcomes Power Holiday
The Tirupur Exporters’ Association has welcomed the Government’s announcement declaring weekly power holiday for Tirupur on Sunday. A release from the association said scheduled power cut would be helpful for the units as the industries would be able to make necessary arrangements.President of the association A. Sakthivel said the board was taking more than two-and-a-half months to make payments to units that supply wind power to the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board grid. Further, the low tension units were not permitted to have captive consumption wind power. The association sought remedial measures on these issues. It also appealed to the Minister to appoint the required number of staff in the Superintending Engineer’s office at Tirupur to cater to revenue-related matters immediately.
