MajorCrisis
Non-guaranteed supply of power by WAPDA isanother problem that negatively affects the textileindustry. Although, some textile units have builttheir own energy generating plants to cut cost (theseunits run on gas), small units production dependsentirely on the electricity supply of WAPDA.
The textile industry suffered heavy financial lossesin Dec, Jan and Feb quarter, because of theinconsistent electricity supplies
