CM vows continued support for industrial growth in Himachal

Punjab Newsline, Shimla, September 25-

CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said that Himachal Pradesh is committed to formulating industry-friendly policies to promote investment in the State. In a statement released here today, Sh. Sukhu said that the state government has rationalized the electricity subsidies being provided to industries. Himachal Pradesh still supplies power on cheaper rates to the industries as compared to the neighboring States.
He said that large industries with supply voltage ranging from 33 KV to 220 KV will be offered electricity at rates which are cheaper than the neighbouring States of Punjab, Haryana and Uttrakhand by more than one rupee per unit. “This implies that industries in Himachal Pradesh still enjoy a comparative advantage to neighboring States. There are only 159 industries in the State with supply voltage ranging from 33 KV to 220 KV,” he added.
Sukhu said that in addition to the large industries with supply voltage ranging from 33 KV to 220 KV, there is another set of 2011 industries in the State with supply voltage of 11 KV and 22 KV. For these industries also the price advantage of more than rupees one continues in comparison to the neighbouring States.
