How big is the project in Pakistan, and what are the components? What kind of support does the project have in Pakistan?
The anticipated project size, all-encompassing, is 8 bn USD, making it the largest private-sector multi-partite project in CPEC ( China Pakistan Economic Corridor) in Pakistan.
CPEC is a component of China’s global trade and connectivity initiative, OBOR. The programme provides debt financing in projects agreed to and negotiated for support between the Pakistani and Chinese governments. Pakistan has had a critical infrastructure deficit, and CPEC has managed to close this gap. Oracle s project is anchored on the development of a 16 MTPA mine in the province of Sindh to fuel a 1320 MW Power plant, setting up coal to gasification for urea facility, and for building coal to liquid plants. We plan to develop a state of the art modern industrial park, harboring future coal technologies and creating jobs, income, and scientific progress through a circular economy of coal-based products and processes. The project is included in the priority list of CPEC projects and will be developed in a very close partnership with the Pakistani government, the Chinese government, and the industry.
