Ease of Doing Business for MSMEs: Textile industry in Surat is seeing a tough time. Around 15 textile dyeing and printing mills have shut down due to their inability to survive high costs and short supply of lignite coal and imported coal as a result of the Russia-Ukraine war and lower production from Gujarat mines, as per a report by The Indian Express.
Textile association South Gujarat Textile Processing Association (SGTPA) urged the authorities of the lignite seller and mining PSU (Public Sector Undertaking) GMDC (Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation) to increase the supply and reduce the prices of lignite coal, the report added, citing association’s president Jitu Vakhariya.
