A Little Background:

FAMILY FRIENDS FOR GENERATIONS

To be sure, both Jindals and Sharif family have been personal friends for generations with similar business interests in steel.

Nawaz Sharif ’s father Muhammad Sharif started his business empire in 1939 with a small steel mill — Ittefaq Ltd, which over the years has transformed itself into one of the largest steelmaking units there. Sugar is the other big Sharif family business comprising more than 24 factories that are currently managed by Nawaz Sharif ’s nephew Hamza and son. Incidentally, both were present to greet Modi on Friday at the Sharif residence on the outskirts of Lahore.

"They have been personal friends for at least two generations. It got cemented further in the past decade. Both families and even their kids know each other well and both have bases in London where they have met several times," said a friend of the Jindal family who did not want to be quoted.

Last May, Jindal hosted Sharif in his Delhi house for tea when the Pakistani PM was in India for the Modi swearing-in, an event that attracted him a lot of criticism from political rivals back home, most notably from Imran Khan, the former cricketer and chairman of the Tehreeke-Insaf party who castigated Sharif for having time to spare for the Indian business tycoon but not for the All Party Hurriyat Conference, which had also sought time with him.

STRATEGIC BUSINESS INTERESTS

Personal rapport apart, industry observers say strategic business interests too could be influencing a desire to play midwife to the incipient bonhomie.

A grouping of Indian steelmakers, called Afghan Iron & Steel Consortium (Afisco) that is led by state-run SAIL along with JSW, JSPL and Monnet Ispat, has been negotiating with the Pakistani government for right of way to transport iron ore by road from Hajigak iron ore deposits in Afghanistan’s Bamiyan province to Karachi, before it is shipped to ports in western and southern India. This is a much cheaper alternative than using Russia as a transit point and is the key to the commercial viability of these mining concessions. Using Iran could be an alternative, but steel industry officials say the Pakistan route is most economical from a cost perspective. Unless this issue is resolved, the memorandum of understanding signed between both sides will not move forward.

As per the agreement with the Afghan government, Afisco has to build a 2-mt steel plant in Afghanistan to be allowed the right to export iron ore from Hajigak mountains. The ferrous content of the ore is said to be in the high sixties, which is considered to be high quality.

The Indian consortium was selected as preferred bidder for three of the four iron ore blocks in Hajigak mines that hold about 1.8 billion tonne iron ore.

Sajjan’s younger brother Naveen Jindal runs Jindal Steel & Power (JSPL), which holds a 16 per cent stake in the Afisco consortium, identical to JSW Ispat. Their brother-in-law Sandeep Jajodia controls Monnet Ispat & Energy, which holds a 4 per cent stake in Afisco.

Mate what do you smoke. Seems like top notch. Columbian stuff

Why build railway track till Kabul for India and then use Karachi port? Standard of Pakistani conspiracy theories are going down everyday.

Thanks for being the voice of sanity. But I must say the guy who posted this smokes high quality columbian stuff. I want his dealer. Kasmay

Kabul to wagah is at 600km distance while Karachi port to Kabul distance is 2100km.

its far better both countries solve the issues nd stop this nonsense stupid war . economy is real game man . we are bankrupt country today think why

Is ka jawab wo "intelligent isaan" den ge jin ki intelligent soch ne ye conspiracy ko janam diya hai.We are sleeping.

In my opinion, we are bankrupt country because we have politicians but we don't have leaders like MA Jinnah, Liaquat Ali Khan and Allama Muhammad Iqbal,
Also the grade of our politicians is so low

 

[Imad.Khan]

If we had laid a rail line from Afghanistan to India, wouldn't Pakistan had gained toll from all the transit traffic?

we are bankrupt country today think why?
Because we have politicians but we don't have leaders like MA Jinnah, Liaquat Ali Khan and Allama Muhammad Iqbal,
Also the grade of our politicians is so low

Actually we are bankrupt because we the people have been electing the same corrupt mafia over and over again. This system of democracy is not suited for Pakistan.

PAKISTAN possesses some of the world’s largest salt deposits in Khewra, Warcha and Kalabagh in Punjab, with Khewra being the second largest.

The country’s salt reserves have been estimated at around 10bn tonnes, with 6.68bn tonnes in the Khewra rocky salt mine alone. Annual salt production from the mine is around 350,000 tonnes.

However, Pakistan is ranked 20th among salt-producing countries, producing only 1.9m tonnes per year. This is less than 1pc of global salt production.

This puts a big question mark on our approach towards managing and utilising our huge natural resources. Pakistan needs to develop a holistic salt exploitation and trade policy that targets the international salt market and restructures the sector from the grass-root level.

While over 110 countries produce salt, just seven countries account for 65pc of the global production. Despite being the world’s largest salt producer, China is still a net importer, as is the second largest producer, the US. Salt is mainly used in producing chemicals, as well as in agriculture, food and food processing and road de-icing.

Pakistan has a significant advantage over India in salt exports, as its salt is pure and contains
99pc halite

About 30pc of global salt demand comes from China, which imports 1-1.5m tonnes of the material from India every year. Impurities in the Indian salt have to be removed beforehand, and the cost of purification is high, sometimes exceeding the cost of the salt itself. Therefore, China has been showing reservations over Indian salt quality.

Pakistan has a significant advantage over India here, as its salt is pure and contains 99pc halite.

Salt consumption in Asia is projected to rise about 5pc by 2018, and the region is forecasted to account for nearly half of world demand by then. This offers an opportunity for Pakistan’s salt industry to establish itself as a major player in the Middle East and Asia Pacific market.

The advantages of inflating salt mining in the country over other minerals include its occurrence as a massive formation; its requirement of minimum financial allocation for exploration and simple mining techniques; existence of operational salt mines; and a rock competent enough to sustain the stable mine structure.

Some suggestions are given below to help the country realise its potential as a ‘Salt Republic’.

• Develop a national salt production strategy based on local consumption and world market trends

• Attract substantial foreign investment in the segment. A crucial step is to evaluate and quantify existing salt resources based on globally recognised criteria, like JORC Code (Australia) and CIM (Canada)

• Identify potential buyers, particularly among neighbouring countries and strategic partners. An effective way is to enter into indentures of ‘two-way-trade,’ where we sell the other country salt and buy some other commodities that we need. For instance, targeting China for salt exports can supplement our foreign exchange earnings

• Facilitate salt mining by employing advanced technology, business improvement programmes and building the required infrastructure like water, electricity and road networks around the salt belts, in addition to consolidating and augmenting the geological and mining data centres

• Encourage joint ventures between local and foreign partners and become recognised as a reliable supplier of substantial quantities of high quality salt.

In a nutshell, Pakistan needs to haul up its salt mining sector from the grass-root level by incorporating foreign market-capturing strategies, in-vogue exploration and mining techniques, business-friendly legal and trade policies, and capacity building.

Now the parties doing these are doing it for the last 15 years infact the permission was given by Musharaf with single stroke of pen all the major Soda Ash plants feasibilities were out as the same salt was sold to them at 10X higher price , The same trucks are going day in day out destroying our infrastructure just to get 0.28 Rs/Kg

Dont worry nothing will happen with the corrupt mafia, traitors, money launderer, illiterate, dishonest, unpatriotic, non visionary leaders, politicians, senators, bureaucrats, establishment... those only think for their own wealth not for the country.
