GWADAR PORT

HISTORY OF GWADAR
Pakistan identified Gwadar as a port site as far back

as 1954 when Gwadar was still under Omani rule

After four years of negotiations, Pakistan purchased
the Gwadar enclave from Oman for $3 million on 8
September 1958 and Gwadar officially became part
of Pakistan on 8 December 1958, after 200 years of
Omani rule
At the time, Gwadar was a small and underdeveloped
fishing village with a population of a few thousand

CONSTRUCTION OF GWADAR
Gwadar was constructed in 2 phases (1998-1999)

and (2002-2007)
Then taken up by the PSA International (20072012)
According to the agreement with PSA International,
Government of Pakistan would get a fixed share.

Doing little business as a commercial port

Pakistan handed over the project of

upgrading the port to Chinese company
China was awarded this multi- billion

dollars contract in February 2013

Port will remain the property of Pakistan

but would be operated by the state-run

Chinese firm China Overseas Port
Holding Company (COPHC)

DETAILS OF GWADAR PORT

PROJECT
The long channel of Gwadar Port has been

dredged to 14 meter depth

18.9 kms Eastbay Expressway has been built to

help flow of goods from and to Gwadar Port and

later on it will also include a 4.3 kms bridge
alongside the sea
The port berths length is over 700 meters and on

requirement the berth length can be increased by

two to three times

OPERATION
The Port has officially started its operation on

the 11th of May, 2015

The first trade of it being a large export of

fish(230 tons) to Dubais Jabal Ali Port where it

has been exported to different countries

BENEFITS OF EXPANSION OF
GWADAR PORT
As an important route for oil tankers bound for

Japan and other countries out of the Gulf, the

outflow of goods from Western China and
Central Asia reaching Gwadar will pass
through this overland trade route, Pakistan
can earn millions of dollars a year in terms of
cargo handling charges and also as freight
charges for import cargoes and export goods.

KARACHI-LAHORE MOTORWAY
Also known as "KLM
A high-speed, access-controlled, 6-lane

motorway that extends for 1,152km

Current Status: Under-construction
Divided into 4 sections:
1. Karachi-Hyderabad Motorway
2. Hyderabad-Sukkur Motorway
3. Sukkur-Multan Motorway
4. Multan-Lahore Motorway

333km

387km

296km

136km

The motorway will facilitate commutes

between Karachi and other cities including

Sukkur, Badin, Ghotki, Rohri, Dadu, Pano Aqil,
Abro, Rahim yar Khan, Sadiqabad, Zahir Pir,
Jalalpur Peerwala Abdul Hakim, Pir Mahal,
Mamo Kajan and Nankana Sahib
Planned Completion Date: September, 2017

4. PESHAWAR-KARACHI
MOTORWAY
Will be built automatically since

Peshawar is already connected to

Islamabad and Lahore through
Motorway
It will be having 2 route options to
travel from Peshawar to Karachi and
vice versa

The M8 will start fromRatoderoin Sindh

Province and enter Balochistan Province

passing near the towns of
Khuzdar,Awaran,Hoshab,Turbatbefore
joining theMakran Coastal Highwayjust east
of the port city ofGwadar
The M8 will cross theDasht Riverand pass
near theMirani Damin Balochistan Province

HAZARA MOTORWAY
Also called the E35 Expressway Motorway

An under-construction motorway linking

Hassan Abdal in Punjab with Haripur,
Havelian, Abbottabad and Mansehra

HISTORY OF KHUNJERAB RAILWAY

CONSTRUCTION
In 2007, consultantswere engaged to

investigate the construction of a railway

through this pass to connectChinawith
transport in Pakistani-administered northern
areas ofKashmir
A feasibility study started in November 2009
for a line connectingHavelian750km
(466mi) away in Pakistan
andKashgar350km (217mi) in China

KHUNJERAB
RAILWAY
Pakistan awarded a Rs72 million (US$1.2 million) contract

to an international consortium to carry out a feasibility

study for establishing a rail link withChinato boost trade
relations between the two countries
The study will cover a 750-kilometre section
betweenHavelianand the 4,730-metre-highKhunjerab
Passover Mansehra district and the Karakoram Highway
Havellian is already linked with the rest of the rail network
in Pakistan; the Chinese will lay some 350km of track
within their own territory fromKashgar terminus up to the
Khunjerab Pass, linking Pakistan with China's rail network,
largely following the route of Karakoram Highway

KHUNJERAB
RAILWAY
TheKhunjerab railwayorKarakoram railwayis a proposed rail

link viaKhunjerab PassfromHunza Nagar DistrictinGilgit-Baltistan

to Kashgar

Khunjareb RAILWAY STATION

LAHORE METRO LINE TRAIN

An under-construction
metro train line project

When completed it will

connectRaiwind, Multan
Road, Mcleod Road,Lahore
Junction Railway
stationand the Grand Trunk
Road
It will be the first line of
theLahore Metro, which is
country's first massrapid

SUKHI KINARI HYDROPOWER

PROJECT
1.

The project is located in the Kaghan Valley in

Mansehra District and is easily accessible

through a paved road
A run-of-the-river project
Poses minimal environmental and social
impacts
Moreover due to its high design head of 900
meters and relatively short Intake Structure
crest, it is considered one of the most cost
effective hydropower schemes in the region.

Power Generation: 840 MW

Designed to produce 2,958 GWh annually, this

mega project alone is expected to increase

Pakistans existing available power generation
capacity by more than 5%

720-MW Karot Hydroelectric
