GGCL served a notice to the textile and chemical processing units on January 14, 2014, informing about the industrial gas supply cut for a ten-day period from January 21 to 31, due to supply issues from the international market, according to the South Gujarat Textile Processors’ Association (SGTPA).

Gas supply is being diverted to the US and Europe, due to a rise in demand there owing to severe cold in those countries. Hence, gas is not available in spot markets, which has resulted in stoppage of gas to non-essential industries like textiles and chemicals, the report said.

At present, the textile city of Surat produces around 15 million metres of polyester fabric a day, and hence, the 10-day stoppage of gas supply would result in a loss of around Rs. 400 million, SGTPA president Jitendra Vakharia said.
