Coimbatore Collector M Karunagaran has been urged by Kovai Power Driven Pumps And Spares Manufacturers Association (KOPMA) to ensure its member-industries have non-stop power supply for eight hours during day.
The Association said in its petition to the collector that the 50,000-odd micro industries in Coimbatore would stand to benefit if the Tangedco supplies power without disruption for eight hours. The association reminds the government that in the past, the 16 hours of power cut in the district had forced labourers to go in search of other jobs.
The association also demanded the State Government to extend a power concession for the micro industries as it did for some sectors like textile units and a few others.
