Think you lost a figure in front of that 7
The total cost of the ML-1 alone to completion in feb was 1,543 Billion rupees ($10B) and there is many
other rail links with and around the cities and the ML-2 and ML-3 under cpec
Gwadar Port is bigger than any of the other projects having its own Hospital ($230M), Energy power plant
and a whole host of other things besides the actual port itself
On the roads M5 (huge) M8 M9 as well as numerous N and H labelled roads under cpec
(Motorway/National/Highway)
(will see mentions of importance of M4 in press but its not funded under cpec)
Current China 's commitment to CPEC is around $67 Billion with over 63B having found a home
what Pakistan put in is on top of China's committed funding
Part of the impending state visit by the inventor of BRI under which cpec is the flagship president
Xi Jinping is to sign off Phase I and move to Phase I emphasis and commit further funds under
the expanding non E & I projects emphasis switching to SEZ, agriculture, science/Tech and a lot
more besides.
If you want a figure to truly blow your socks off, China has already as its looking way down the road
at the projects under BRI at Phase 3-4 and beyond, has already costed its current and future commitments
under BRI for Xi's long term visionary plans at a staggering
$5 TRILLION
Oh did I mention Pakistan is the Flagship project of BRI
and both Sindh regional and national press have carried stories stating, the THAR block vi is a flagship
strategic national project under cpec, due to it unlike the others (they might change and add later)
it is more than just an additional power plant (ref's the Gas/Liquids/Urea)
Its a massive massive project which unfortunately our BOD have zero control over the timetable of events
once Pakistan Power & Infrastructure Board PPIB issue LOI and NTP ""notice to proceed"", that ball game
changes and our consortium can move forward with plans, with a committed Government agreement
to purchase our energy production once plant is built and connected to the grid
