Industry body seeks Tamil Nadu government to roll back power tariff hike

Tirupur Exporters’ Association on Wednesday termed the recent hike in power tariff as a ‘heavy blow’ to the industry which was already reeling under the Russia-Ukraine conflict and requested the Tamil Nadu government to roll back its decision.

Association president Raja M Shanmugham in a letter to Chief Minister M K Stalin said the survival of the industry, particularly the micro, small and medium enterprises were “at stake” due to the upward revision in power tariff.
