CHENNAI: The recent diesel shortage and the decision to restrict barrel sale by oil marketing companies in the city are having an adverse effect on small-scale industries, according to entrepreneurs.

R. Namasivayam, who owns an aluminium die-casting plant, says that he has been working at only about 50 per cent capacity because of the non-availability of diesel.
