Not going to happen, there is a sharp decrease in apparel sales in the West due to inflation, home textile sales have also gone down significantly after Covid because apparently people bought too many bedsheets when they were staying at home. We might be able to export cotton and yarn to China...

He was the brother of my wife’s colleague, asked my brother (posted in KP) about him and this is what he had to say.

Well... under the circumstances, maybe he should not have gone up if it was an option. We all have bad days at the office, fortunately, not all of us have to perform aerobatic stunts on a supersonic jet.

Really impressed with the placement of the kill shots, all of them have been shot above the neck region or in the arms (to disable the use of weapon) Goes on to show the quality of training of these troops. Remaining calm enough to remember their training while under heavy fire shows the highest...

So the cat is out of the bag, i would not be surprised if there are at least 3 already flying in our skies (that is what i heard was supposed to happen by December) I only want to know if we are getting the standard version or and upgraded one. I am sure we will not know until India tries...

Make that 7.5 Million, target was 8.3 Million and 9 million was an overly ambitious estimate and result has fallen well short due to lesser than expected yield per sqkm. Although even 7.5 million bales is a big improvement on the 5.5 million bales produced last year. Hopefully with cotton prices...

This was the doing of a disgruntled ex-PAF instructor who had already been in a legal battle with PAF. 2nd voice is not Hassan Siddiqui.

If by "More" you mean he was asked not to shoot and he still did, then it is no secret. There was a reason he was advertised as a hero within hours of the incident otherwise he would have been punished for not following orders.

We don't need Chinese investment in textiles sector, Govt. need to give incentives to finished goods industry and curtail the export of Raw cotton and yarn. We have enough textile units focused on a single segment like spinning, weaving or garmenting, we need them to invest in forward/backward...

I know who you are talking about and i agree that he cannot be replaced, it was his dream. I know what happened, why it happened and how the team has been dispersed, it is really sad the way things have ended. Yes it was a bit of a pipe dream but it could have been done. 2 years of effort and...

Imagine if our Saith Sahiban had invested in setting up garment units instead of spinning mills, the same pound of yarn which sells for cents, when converted to garments, sells for dollars. APTMA is a Spinning sector controlled Mafia that prefers to export instead of sell locally because export...

Why are you spreading lies? I have been in the industry for the last 14 years, right now there is even shortage of labor especially skilled labor. The only problem facing the industry right now is shortage of cotton and high chemical prices

The most concerning figure in this data is the 71% increase in export of cotton yarn, while our local finished goods industry, which has the highest per unit price, profit and subsequently earns the highest revenue, is suffering due to high raw material prices, spinners are earning huge profits...

Both are being rebuilt in Kamra, MRF and ARF respectively so I think the decision should be made based on life of Airframe which for PGs is a lot less than Mirages. PGs are also being rebuilt in Kamra so maintenance is not an issue, in fact, sourcing parts for PGs is much easier with Chinese...

PG's should be the last to go as they were inducted in 90 (and early 2000s if I am not wrong). They are quite capable if compared with the older non ROSE and ROSE I-II Mirage 3's and 5's, only limitation is the lack of hardpoints which can be made up by using them in numbers. First to go...
