Job working MSMEs in Coimbatore fear loss of more business
The HinduSeveral micro and small-scale industries here that manufacture small components fear loss of business for job working units as industries are sourcing increasingly from other States. The job working units reduced the working hours from 16 to eight and may reduce it further, says C. Sivakumar, president of Coimbatore and Tiruppur Districts Tiny and Micro Enterprises Association. According to V. Thirugnanam, president of Coimbatore District Small Industries Association, with the current trend in business, job working MSMEs are likely to lose more jobs in the coming years. Mr. Sivakumar says the government should step in with measures to support the job working micro and small-scale units in this situation so that the MSME sector is able to move forward.
