Manufacturers in Mohali say the ongoing electricity shortage has cut output by half and have warned they will relocate if conditions do not improve within a week.
Industrial units in Mohali are confronting a severe power shortage that has slashed their output by roughly fifty percent. The manufacturers, representing a significant share of the region's manufacturing base, have voiced strong dissatisfaction with the persistent electricity disruptions.
The production decline is reported to be affecting a wide range of sectors, from textiles to engineering goods, thereby threatening supply chains and employment in the area. Business leaders contend that the loss of half their usual output translates into substantial revenue erosion and could undermine the state's industrial competitiveness.
In response, the concerned firms have issued a stark warning to the Punjab government: unless the power situation improves within the next seven days, they will consider relocating their operations to other states. The ultimatum underscores the urgency of restoring reliable electricity to safeguard the region's industrial ecosystem.
