Export-oriented textile manufacturing units in Site area of the city are facing power outages for the last 24 hours. Pakistan Manufacturing and Exporters Association (PHMA) dispatched a letter to CEO of KESC, complaining of electricity cut to Site industrial area. Chairman South Zone, PHMA, Aamir Haider Butt expressed his concerns in the letter over the unannounced power outages and termed the electricity suspension "most alarming".
"It is on record that on an undertaking by KESC that electricity would be provided 24 hours to the SITE Industrial Area without any break, the industries had shut off their generators and done away with it," according to the letter, which was provided to Business Recorder. He feared the continuing electricity loadshedding will cause million of dollars loss to the export-oriented industries located in Site Industrial Area. He said the industry is already struggling hard to earn foreign exchange and meet the global export orders deadline on time.
Aamir Haider Butt said such alarming situation hits exporters to meet their export commitments and forces them to make air-shipments of orders which caused them huge financial loss. He said the "sudden" power loadshedding affected the continuing production in industries.
