The textile industry of Southern India are demanding a separate tariff or load factor incentive as the textile industry is the highest consumer of TANGEDCO and thus deserves to have a special treatment and concession.
The textile industry runs round-the-clock throughout year and consumes 900-950 units of power for one hour for every MW thus enabling TANGEDCO to make substantial profit when compared to any other consumer.
The new power tariff would seriously affect the competitiveness of the textile mills in Tamil Nadu across the value chain.
