iciKARACHI: ICI Pakistan Limited has announced a major investment in its Soda Ash Plant at Khewra. The investment of over Rs.2 billion is focused on addressing the energy deficit faced by the company due to restricted supply of natural gas affecting plant output and efficiencies, an ICI release said Wednesday.
