Hyderabad, July 26:<\/strong> The Hyderabad Chamber of Small Traders and Small Industry<\/strong> has urged the federal government to take immediate action to address the ongoing electricity shortage in the HESCO region<\/strong>, warning that inadequate power supply from the national grid and repeated transmission failures are severely disrupting industrial, commercial, and business activities across the Hyderabad Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement, Chamber President Muhammad Saleem Memon<\/strong> called on Federal Minister for Energy (Power Division) Sardar Awais Ahmed Khan Leghari<\/strong> to take urgent notice of the situation and ensure an adequate electricity supply to the HESCO region while improving the national transmission system on an emergency basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memon said the Chamber had learned that HESCO previously received around 900 megawatts<\/strong> of electricity from the national grid, but the current allocation had dropped to approximately 550 to 600 megawatts<\/strong>. As a result, HESCO has been forced to implement load management and unscheduled power outages on various feeders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that frequent technical faults and failures in the National Grid transmission system<\/strong> were further disrupting electricity supplies, creating serious challenges for the business community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Chamber, industries, markets, commercial centres, and small businesses in Hyderabad, Kotri, Jamshoro, Tando Allahyar, Matiari, Badin, Thatta, Sujawal<\/strong>, and other HESCO-served areas are suffering significant financial losses due to unreliable electricity and unannounced load-shedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memon said repeated power interruptions were halting production, disrupting commercial activities, leaving machinery idle, and increasing operating costs. He noted that many small and medium-sized businesses lack the financial capacity to rely on alternative power sources such as generators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Referring to the ongoing monsoon season, the Chamber president warned that the situation could deteriorate further if the transmission network was not properly maintained and weak infrastructure repaired in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If timely maintenance, repairs to weak installations, and emergency measures are not undertaken, the electricity crisis could worsen, affecting not only industry and trade but also ordinary consumers,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chamber called on the federal government to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
