I applaud the efforts of Government of Sindh for organising International Coal Conference to attract investment in Coal sector. Thar region of Sindh is endowed with mammoth coal reserves which are estimated to be 175 billion tonnes and can be a key to our national security and economic prosperity.
The Federal Government realising the gravity of the energy crises has extended all out support to the Government of Sindh in matters related to the development coal sector. The formation of Thar Coal & Energy Board shows Federal Government's commitment to develop Thar Coal for power generation and other uses. The Government has approved an attractive incentive package to facilitate investment for the development of this vital resource. The development of infrastructure has also been given immense importance as various infrastructure projects are being executed on a fast-track basis. Having representation of Federal Government in TC&EB, the Board has acquired more recognition and acceptance for local and international investors. It also shows that provincial and federal governments are on the same page of power policy and strategy.
These efforts of the Federal and Provincial governments are likely to produce a solid result which would instantly eliminate the issue of power outage and shortages. Clear and coherent road map for energy security and economic prosperity has been chalked out, now is the time to materialise this vision.
