Ludhiana, March 29, 2023: Gurmeet Singh Kular President Federation of Industrial & Commercial Organization (FICO) and Rajeev Jain General Secretary FICO strongly opposed the increase in Industrial Power Tariff by Rs.0.50 per Unit by Punjab State Power Corporation Limited . They said the circular also has a provision of 3% annual increase in the tariff to the industrial units.
