Sindh Senior Minister and Provincial Minister for Information, Transport, and Mass Transit, Sharjeel Inam Memon, has said that the approval of a development package of more than Rs. 9.28 billion for Karachi’s industrial areas is a historic and timely decision by the Sindh government. He added that the Sindh government is working with full seriousness and consistency to make Karachi a strong, active, and competitive industrial center once again.
In a statement, Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said that Karachi is the heart of the country’s economy, and the revival and development of its industrial zones are directly linked to employment, exports, and investment. He said that development work is starting today on Monday under a comprehensive roadmap aimed at improving the infrastructure of industrial areas and will be completed within six months. He added that these funds are being provided from the Infrastructure Development Cess, which is paid by the industries themselves.
He said that the fair distribution of funds among different industrial zones based on need and priority is proof of the Sindh government’s practical approach. He emphasized that no compromise will be made on the quality, speed, or transparency of development work, and that all projects will be closely monitored through the proposed monitoring committee.
He further said that the Sindh Chief Minister has clearly announced that after the completion of the first phase, another major development package of the same nature will be announced for industrial areas. He added that the restoration of industrial infrastructure will improve transport and logistics, reduce business costs, and restore investor confidence.
