IMF blackmailing.. shock therapy .. in progress

[Pakistansdefender]

Subcidie would not remove immediately.....
Subcidie would continue in textile, agriculture and some other industries..
Imf ask to remove Subcidie on other things and that too gradually in three years.
If you are successful in curbing the huge huge deficiet in electricity and power and loss making enterprises.
You don't need to cut the subcidie then

Pakistanis should focus on quality and not matching slave labor environment


As for Electricity


Massive additions coming to Power sector
View attachment 561539

Pakistan will be Energy Independent from 2023-2025

What that just means is that the Shut down Industries will be running as power would be available and companies would be able to run 2-3 shifts per day , and Production will rise


Rough Estimate of Some power Projects Production

KANUPP3 (Nuclear Power Plant) - 1,100 MW
KANUPP3 (Nuclear Power Plant) - 1,100 MW
Thar Mine Mouth Oracle Power Plant, Pakistan – 1,320MW
SSRL Thar SEC Mine Mouth Power Plant, Pakistan – 1,320MW
CPHGC Power Plant, Pakistan – 1,320MW
Sahiwal Coal-fired Power Plant, Pakistan – 1,320MW
Port Qasim Power Project, Pakistan – 1,320MW
Kohala Hydel Project, Pakistan – 1,100MW
Suki Kinari Hydropower Project, Pakistan – 870MW

Energy Production : 10,770 MW (Will be added ...)



With high availability of Electricity , the general rate would fall not requiring subsidy and factories would be able to run 2-3 shifts

Currently, Today, NOW, Pakistan has enough electricity productive capacity than demand. Read up on it. Or just google

"Today, Pakistan's 207 million people and its industries need 15,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity generation capacity, according to power ministry data.

That number will increase as demand rises in the peak summer months. But the ministry says that demand could easily be met using the country's installed generation capacity of roughly 20,000MW from plants running on coal, oil, gas, hydroelectric and nuclear power.

But users across the country still experience a shortfall of roughly 2,000MW, the ministry says, resulting in outages of up to eight hours a day in some areas.

That is because, while the capacity to generate the required electricity exists, there is no money to pay for it, officials told Al Jazeera.

"As of today, we don't have any issue with availability of supply," said Nadeem Babar, head of the Prime Minister's Task Force on Energy Reforms. "Our issues are transmission and distribution constraints, and the high [revenue] losses in certain areas."

At the heart of the problem is a phenomenon referred to in Pakistan as 'circular debt' – a cascade of unpaid bills and government subsidies, coupled with transmission line losses."
