The industries here have appealed to the State government for relief in payment of electricity charges. The industries were shut on May 10 in view of the State-wide lockdown to control the spread of COVID-19. With the lockdown restrictions continuing in Coimbatore district, the units are unable to operate to full capacity. However, the units will have to pay the electricity consumption charges for April and May before June 15. This is not possible for the micro and cottage industries, said Coimbatore and Tiruppur Districts Micro and Cottage Entrepreneurs Association. The Association president, C. Sivakumar, urged the State government to provide three months time, after the lifting of lockdown restrictions, for the micro units to pay the electricity charges.More Related News
