Pakistani textile exporters complain decision to slash gas supply to power plants
The Pakistan Textile Exporters Association (PTEA) has slammed the government's decision to discontinue gas supply to the Captive Power Plants (CPPs) from Jan 1.
In a joint statement on Friday, PTEA Patron-in-Chief Khurram Mukhtar and Chairman Sohail Pasha warned that this move threatens the stability and growth of Pakistan’s textile industry, which heavily relies on the CPPs to maintain consistent power flow and operational efficiency, reported The News International.
The PTEA officials highlighted that billions have been invested in gas-based CPPs, with 480 such plants on the SNGPL network and 800 on the SSGC network.
The CPPs are essential for providing stable and uninterrupted power.
The officials cautioned that relying solely on the national grid, which suffers from transmission and distribution losses, would not meet the industry’s demand and could damage sensitive equipment across the textile value chain, the news paper reported.
