QUETTA: The Balochistan cabinet has approved the development of a $14 billion tri-state gas terminal in Gwadar, backed by investment from Turkmenistan, marking a major step toward strengthening Pakistan’s energy infrastructure and regional connectivity.
The decision was taken during a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti, who directed the Senior Member of the Board of Revenue to ensure that Balochistan’s legal, financial, and ownership rights are fully safeguarded throughout the project.
Speaking at a post-meeting press conference, Provincial Ministers Mir Zahoor Buledi and Mir Ziaullah Langove said the proposed gas terminal will not only serve as a strategic regional energy hub but will also provide natural gas to the districts of Gwadar, Panjgur, Chagai, and Washuk, improving energy access across southwestern Balochistan.
The cabinet meeting began with prayers for security personnel and civilians who lost their lives in recent terrorist attacks. Reaffirming the government’s commitment to restoring peace, Minister Buledi said the provincial administration would continue decisive action against terrorist networks and would not allow militants to operate on Balochistan’s soil.
