10 September 2022, Mumbai:

Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission has notified the revised tariff Orders for energy charges and different services provided by TANGEDCO on 9th September 2022. The steep hike across the services would erode the competitiveness of the HT/EHT consumers especially the power-intensive sectors textile industry in Tamil Nadu.

In a press release issued here today, Ravi Sam, Chairman, The Southern India Mills Association (SIMA) has appreciated the various policy initiatives taken by the Hon’ble CM of TN on the power front making the energy department more industry-friendly.

SIMA Chairman said that the power-intensive textile industry would become uncompetitive with the recent steep increase in the power tariff. Ravi has said that the Government could have deferred the power tariff increase decision for some time.

He has said that the increase in demand charges from Rs.350 per KVA to Rs.550 KVA is an abnormal hike when compared to most of the States in the country.

SIMA Chairman has appealed to reduce the demand charges, wheeling charges, and transmission charges and consider increasing the night hour rebate on par with peak hour to sustain the global competitiveness of the textile industry in TN and also avoid year-on-year increase with a cap of 6% and make the State as an attractive destination for new investments.

7 mega textile parks planned under MITRA scheme

06 September 2022, Mumbai:

Seven mega textile parks will be set up under the Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (MITRA) scheme.

The states where these parks will be set up have almost been finalized but they have been asked to provide a long-term projection for power tariffs that would be charged at these parks. The centre is trying to get a few things from the states by way of concessions and is trying to get states to agree to a better power regime. In some states, the cost of power is quite high, which the centre would like to see reduced. The states have been asked to submit a long-term roadmap— say, 15 years—of the power tariff that would be charged at these textile parks and they have been requested to refrain from raising power charges for 15 years.

The Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel scheme was announced in budget 2021 to make the textile industry globally competitive. It was given a budget ofRs 4,445 crores for seven years.

India’s textile and apparel exporters complain that a largely fragmented supply chain and higher logistics costs push up the cost of production—one reason export orders have steadily moved to countries such as Bangladesh and Vietnam. These mega parks are aimed at helping return textile orders as a result of a planned integrated textiles value chain—including spinning, weaving and processing —at a single location.
