Super Highway Estate uplift work almost over: minister
KARACHI (March 28 2007): Sindh Minister for Industry, Trade, Transport and Economic, Adil Siddiqui, has said that development work on most modern lines at the Super Highway Industrial Estate, Phase II, has almost been completed.
Addressing members of Federal 'B' Area Association of Trade and Industry (FBAATI) after inaugurating the 4000 kw KECS feeder, he said that plots at this industrial estate were offered at Rs 1.5 million per acre, whereas in Sunder industrial estate plots were much expensive.
He advised the investors to take advantage of this offer and establish industrial units at this industrial estate. He said water is available; sewerage system has been developed; and roads have been constructed, and all power wiring is underground.
He said that besides developing plots a labour colony comprising of 1000 flats, hospital, mosque and school have already been developed. He said that the government is going to invite President General Pervez Musharraf to see the development of this industrial estate.
The minister said that the government has allocated Rs 250 million for KITE Limited, and added that KITE still fails to provide PC-1 of development plan. He said that the government is also willing to provide sufficient amount for the development of Federal B Area Industrial areas to the newly formed F B Area Industrial Estate Development Company.
Adil said that the government also provided Rs 500 million grant to SITE Limited for carrying out development work. He said that the government was making efforts to change the face of Karachi in the next one year. He praised the working of KESC management and said that it had done a good job to improve the working and efficiency of the organisation.
He expressed hope that KESC would complete its ongoing development and upgradation programme by June 2008. KESC Director Operation Adnan Bashir Khan said that the KESC had prepared a plan to meet power demand during the coming summer He said that KESC has installed around 150 to 200 new feeders in the city. Besides, work is in progress on upgrading its entire system.
Welcoming the guests, FBAATI Chairman Masroor Ahmed Alvi said that a number of industrial units had gone out of production in his industrial estate due to high cost of production and unfavourable conditions abroad. He said that the buyers are reluctant to visit Pakistan, whereas Pakistanis face difficulties in going abroad for marketing Pak products due to the image of Pakistan.
