The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Adam, you are correct when you said there's been no news on the Thar rail line since September. Things may have progressed but we haven't heard yet.
In September, they had "obtained federal approval for the construction of a 105-kilometer railway line, spanning from Chorr to Islamkot, ultimately connecting to Port Qasim, a deep-sea port in Karachi.
This ambitious project is slated for completion by December 2024 and is estimated to cost Rs58 billion, with equal financial participation from both the federal and Sindh governments."

Fair enough. Maybe I linked the wrong article. I’ll look again.
Adam, there was news. The interim PM announced that the rail project construction would begin in January.
It will take time to build but it is happening.

They’re going to build a rail line specifically to transport lignite from thar to the port, going past KE’s coal power plant in the way.
The issue was probably more due to green energy transition issues and ESG than the cost.
Smaller O&G companies will be less bothered by this so in a way we probably want a less high-profile partner.
Just my 2p.
I don't recall the word imminent ever being used before.
Just had a quick look through some RNSs and not seen it.
If someone could find where he has said imminent before I would be grateful to see it. Otherwise, as far as I know this is the first time he's used that word.
oracle energy and emirates global aluminium - a leader in global aluminium production - signed the mou on 1 february 2023, agreeing to jointly cooperate on a non-binding basis to explore the potential for oracle energy to supply and deliver approximately 50,000 tonnes of green hydrogen to ega from its planned green hydrogen project in ****stan - forming the majority of the project's total projected annual output.
if negotiations are successful, it is the intention that a binding agreement be signed during the 2023 un climate change conference (cop28), to be held in the uae from 30 november to 12 december 2023.
"The very next day" is just a complete lie. It was weeks earlier.
And I already admitted that I was wrong about that, so I'm not sure what more you want, other than to continue to demonstrate what type of person you are.
Thanks Ameen
Let me just say one more thing for now.
If we do get a signed offtake agreement before the MOU ends, I think you should apologise to Naheed like a gentleman and then delete your user name.
This is the first time an RNS has referred to an expectation of an MOU becoming binding by a certain date. But then you knew that.
"Based on history"......? This is the first time such an opportunity has come up!
Yes we will have to see.
People reading my posts might not understand the context because a certain someone's posts keep getting deleted.
I'm not reporting them, btw. Interesting that others are...
"Not even once have you called it right."
Other than the placing please quote even one other posts where I have said something would happen and it hasn't. I don't think you have anything in mind, you're just bashing and trolling for the sake of it.
It must be nice posting the way you do. You don't have to research, you don't have to read anything, you don't have to think, or be clever, or reach any conclusion of your own. It's incredibly easy to sit there and criticise someone else and you can never be wrong because you don't have the balls to actually say anything of substance.
Don't think I didn't notice you yet again dodge the conversation about the offtake agreement. That's what's important here. If signed it will be a massive step forward. So let's see what happens over COP28.
Nice deflection of your own ignorance on what an offtake agreement is.
You know instead of just insulting me, you could be spending your time educating yourself on offtake agreements. But clearly you are only here to attack others, not to contribute in any meaningful way.
As I suspected, you don't understand what an offtake agreement is and you would rather insult me than look into it.
Jstar, we don't have the offtake agreement yet. I'm talking about the situation AFTER we get the offtake agreement signed. I think my post was written clearly enough.
Like I said, many people here don't appreciate what an offtake agreement is, and would rather call me a clown than research.
Mr deramper, do you know what an offtake agreement is?
I think most people don’t fully appreciate the significance of a signed offtake agreement. It means revenue is practically guaranteed and banks will be falling over themselves to lend us the money for what is almost a guaranteed return. All imo
