Things are getting bad to worse for the textile industry in Pakistan. Exports growth was already down to a mere 0.4 per cent in October and may even decline in coming months if the government suspends gas supply for the next three months from December to February. According to reports, the ministry of petroleum and natural resources is likely to move a note to the Economic Co-ordination Committee (ECC), seeking suspension of gas supply to the industry for three months.
