re earlier 15:06 post on tomorrows meeting and ML-1 being
the biggest deal on the menu, once flagship project of CPEC
ISLAMABAD-Thar coal mines will soon be connected to the Main-Line 1 (ML-1) enabling efficient
delivery of coal to the coal-fired power plants and other facilities and bringing economic benefits
to both the ****stan Railways and power plants, reported WealthPK. (16th October)
Moreover, efficient freight movement is of sheer importance to economic development.
The official said the rail connectivity will enable efficient delivery of coal to the coal-fired power
plants and other facilities such as cement manufacturing units. In addition, the link will bring
economic benefits to the railways and coal-fired power plants.
It is estimated that the 105km green link connecting the coal mines with Port Qasim, Jamshoro
power plant, and other power plants will save billions of rupees.
but coal is the main product, which is hauled from Karachi to all parts of the country, particularly
to Pind Dadan Khan in Punjab and Nowshera in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The tracks are being designed to bear a maximum of 25 tonnes of the axel load, the officer added.
Discussing Main-Line 1, the official said the goal of connectivity through CPEC could not be achieved
without upgrading ML-1.
Therefore, he said, refurbishment and expansion of ML-1 was considered an important milestone in
the improvement and transformation of ****stan Railways.
In contrast, 3,960MW is generated by imported coal, which represents around 75 percent of the
total electricity produced by coal.
75% , no wonder Shebaz speed wants an end to expensive imports ASAP
and Thar coal to replace PDQ.
