Frequent outages raise fears of power holidays among industries

Summer is yet to set in but the frequent disruptions in power supply are leaving industries, especially small-scale units, worried. Managements also fear the likelihood of power holidays.

Industrial units operating on the fringe areas of Greater Hyderabad are facing several hardships due to unscheduled power cuts this season. Managements are complaining that apart from affecting production, the disruption in power supply is also resulting in additional



burden.

Generally, maintenance works are taken up on Sundays and holidays. But due to the lethargy of officials in taking up the works effectively, power cuts have become a regular feature in different industrial areas. This has subjected the managements to severe inconvenience with production coming to a halt repeatedly.

Managements of industrial units in Jeedimetla, Cherlapally, Balanagar, Nacharam, Mallapur and Uppal areas complained about regular power cuts in the last week.
