Srinagar: The Federation of Chambers of Industries Kashmir (FCIK) has expressed dismay over the new instructions from KPDCL asking theindustrial enterprises for replacement of their 3-phase meters with Trivector meters or face disconnections.
In a statement, the apex industrial organisation has conveyed that the instructions for replacement of meters by the enterprises at their own expenses were against the very interests of already fragile
enterprises , majority of which would be unable to spend 25000 or more on each meter.
“Only a few year’s back, all industrial units were made to replace their meters with currently installed meters and now asking for changing these again was to further burden the financially crippled industrial community”, reads the statement.
FCIK questioned the wisdom of authorities in replacement of meters merely for recording energy in kVAFCIK dismayed over PDD dictate on replacement of meters
