The Supreme Court has refused to issue an interim order on Arghakhanchi Cement's writ petition in the dedicated trunkline tariff dispute.
The bench of Justice Tek Prasad Dhungana issued a show cause order on Kartik 30, calling both parties for discussion. Cement had filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court, saying that the industry, which had been treated unfairly, should also be closed.
The industry has been closed since Kartik 4 after the Nepal Electricity Authority cut off electricity. Arghakhanchi Cement had been producing more than 60,000 bags daily. According to the authority, Arghakhanchi Cement will have to pay Rs 448.4 million in arrears.
The company, established in Bhairahawa, Rupandehi, started producing OPC cement in 2071 BS. The company has also been producing PPC cement since 2076 BS. Although it has a capacity to produce 3,500 metric tons of cement daily, the industry was operating at 65 percent capacity recently.
