Private sector projects.

Any source of such investments has many dividends, of course. The private sector can do only as much as what government policies and permissions and permits allow. It is a very nice system overall.

Yes projects done by private including those by foreign investors is to benefit the nice system. No arguing there with that kind of logic.

Congratulations to the nation on this great success!

After the wonderful progress on the Thar Coal Gasification Project and the Thar Coal Power Generation Project, now we will have the Thar Coal Fertlizier Project.

The "gifts" of Thar Coal are never ending, AlHamdoLillah.

Contrary to what you believe. Thar coal power projects are very successful though these can no longer be expanded. Coal gasification is now greener option and easy to get financing for it.

Frankly, It Is A Step In The Right Direction. But More Needs To Be Done Since The Old PDF I Have Been An Advocate Of Something Much More Ambitious: Production Of Synthetic Crude Oil From Thar Coal

Thar Coal and The Magic That We Can Do

By The End Of This Year Hopefully, The Third Phase of Block 2 Thar Coal Will Be Completed After Which The Capacity Will Increase to 12.2 Million tons per Annum from the existing 7.6 MTPA This Will Reduce The Cost of Coal to $27/ton. Although It Is Planned To Supply This Excess Amount To Lucky...

KARACHI:
Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah on Thursday unveiled the strategic roadmap for the country's flagship Coal-to-Fertiliser (C2F) initiative, describing the Thar coal-based urea project as vital for reducing reliance on imported fertiliser, generating employment and boosting exports.

The project, being executed by Fauji Fertiliser Company (FFC), envisages utilising indigenous coal reserves from Thar to strengthen the country's fertiliser security and add value to local resources. The chief minister was briefed on the progress during a meeting at the CM House by an FFC delegation led by its CEO Jahangir Piracha.

Officials informed the meeting that the $1.12 billion project has achieved a milestone with the completion of its Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) in November 2025, prepared by internationally reputed consultants. With the BFS finalised, the project has entered the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) and project agreements phase.

Under the proposed timeline, financial close is expected between late 2026 and 2027, while commercial operations are targeted to commence in January 2031.

Terming the initiative a "game changer," FFC officials said the plant will produce 717,000 tonnes of urea annually, with output evenly divided between domestic consumption and exports. Annual urea exports are projected to fetch up to $260 million in revenue.

The project is expected to generate more than 3,500 direct jobs and around 7,000 indirect employment opportunities.

It's not an easy process !
1. Massive investment is required.
2. Production is not that cheap. Only slightly less expensive than Crude..
3. Mass scale pollution..

If true it has massive potential. But is any country/ company using this technique ?

Its like replacing one dirty fuel with another in 2026.

Doubt anyone will invest in that. Pakistan best chance to use thar coal is gasification with external financing.
