As per the estimate by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI), production at over 3.4 million micro, small and medium enterprises in Punjab, Haryana and Delhi, employing about 7 million workers have taken a hit due to the smog.
«In view of the same, the enforcement of Stage IV of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) in the National Capital Region (NCR) has affected the transportation, halting all construction and demolition activities in the area, impacting the industrial activities, leading to rise in costs of production and delay in supply chains,» Hemant Jain, president, PHDCCI told ET.
«The additional impact on the health of the workers due to prolonged exposure to smog has affected factory productivity, which is further adding to delays in output,» Jain added.
According to Jain, the industry is taking proactive measures to mitigate the impact of smog by following health safety measures, installing air purification plants wherever possible, using cleaner fuels based vehicles and providing safety gears such as masks to the workers.
