Power Staggering Withdrawn for Industries in South Gujarat Region
What happened
The government withdrew the requirement for eight-hour weekly power staggering for industries in the Surat and South Gujarat region. This measure, which had been implemented a week prior, mandated scheduled power cuts from 4 pm to midnight on one day each week. Officials of Dakshin Gujarat Vij Company Ltd confirmed the discontinuation of the measure.

Why it matters
The rollback was prompted by objections from industrial stakeholders, who argued the scheduled cuts posed a serious risk to delivery commitments during the Diwali peak season. The Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry welcomed the decision, citing the importance of continuous production shifts for many units.
