Hundreds of forging factories and other manufacturing units in Tamil Nadu face the threat of a financial blow in the area of power cost as they await the exemption of power utility, and support like in other States.
These units are facing the issue of maximum demand charges and banking of April’s solar generation units.
Industries with HT power supply have requested the respective State governments across India not to charge maximum demand (MD) as per standard rule for the lockdown period.
While some States have given relief to the HT consumers, TANGEDCO’s stand causes worry to the HT units.
