The industries of Kerala have been in the forefront demanding abolition of monthly fixed charge for electricity usage. That being the case, the KSEB’s proposal to hike monthly fixed charge led to protest from various industries including the printing industry. In order to hear the view of representatives from the industry the Electricity Tariff Regulatory Authority of Kerala held a public hearing at Ernakulam Town Hall on 27th November, 2018. KMPA was represented at the hearing by K.P. Uthup of Colortone Process, P.L. Yacob of Signtek, R. Haridas of Hytek Offset and Krishnamoorthy of Screenpack Offset Printers.
