With no respite from the severe coal shortage faced by several units, eight industry associations representing fertilizer, paper, textile, aluminium, sponge iron and other sectors, have made a joint representation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for urgent intervention.
In a letter, dated February 7, the trade bodies have stressed that the persisting coal crisis has been hurting the overall industry, especially the power-intensive plants and SMEs, forcing them to operate at reduced capacities with a looming risk of plant closures.
It also argued that at a time when Coal India Limited’s (CIL’s) production level has increased by 7% month-on-month, there is no rationale behind ‘such abysmal scare supply’ to the industries that is impeding the growth of the manufacturing sector.
According to BACL, the biophilic-inspired business park will offer smart workspaces within a vibrant public realm. The project’s most exceptional and breathtaking attribute lies in the Urban Forest, a lush oasis in the centre of the development. This green space will serve as a focal point, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the area. The upcoming metro station in Airport City will provide seamless connectivity to the business park from the northern side, ensuring convenient accessibility.
