For the existing project, joint venture of Sinohydro Resources Limited, China, and M/s Al Mirqab Capital, Qatar, will undertake development of two 660MW each coal based power projects at Port Qasim, Karachi.
According to officials, Port Qasim Power Plant will have the state-of-the-art technology that would produce coal-based electricity with minimum environmental impacts and maximum efficiency.

I already smell corruption here. Some % from the Chinese and what is Punjab government doing in Port Qasim?

Is it another pup company of Nawaz pimp?

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

It will be functional in next PTI government

No chance of finish in next 7 years

 

[arushbhai]

PMLN power relies on resolving energy crisis. If they fail to do that, they will not win elections in future. To PMLN, resolving energy crisis is like a survival race

It will be functional in next PTI government

No chance of finish in next 7 years

Meri jaan, PTI had a chance to form a government in next election if Imran had decided to become a CM of KPK himself and did something for the province, but he refused to come out of his bani galas house and decided to cry and created a havoc and blindly accuse everyone and everything in his sight of rigging. He has absolutely no chance. Stop with your wishful thinking
