Material handling enterprises in the South Gujarat district are chipping away at an arrangement to import coal straightforwardly, which they say can assist them with saving something like 10% on coal costs which thus will assist them with cutting down the creation costs at the units. The processors are talking about the possibilities with KRIBHCO to utilize their port close here and scarcely any driving processors are in the last stage to arrange vessels straightforwardly from Indonesia.
We have made different recommendations to KRIBHCO recorded as a hard copy and the conversations are happening for north of a half year. We are investigating different ways of cutting down the creation costs since we are currently addressing twofold the cost of coal when contrasted with the costs a year prior," said Jitendra Vakharia, president, South Gujarat Textile Processors Association.
Around 400 material handling units are functional in South Gujarat and the greater part of them are coal-based. Every unit requires a normal of 50 ton coal day to day. "As indicated by a best guess, the everyday prerequisite of coal is around 20,000 ton for all material handling units in the locale. Assuming that we import coal straightforwardly, we can get it at a cost something like 10% not as much as what we pay now here," added Vakharia.
As indicated by the processors, the costs of imported coal have multiplied in all classifications. The coal that was accessible at Rs 4,500 for each ton a year prior is currently accessible at Rs 9,000. We dread further cost ascend in coal costs and there might be a 50 percent climb in next a half year," said Vakharia. SGTPA is wanting to supply the imported coal first to its individuals and to others later.
