Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif announced the Roshan Sanad Electricity Package for the development of the country’s industry and agriculture.
Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif announced the package in a meeting with a delegation of experts from the industrial and agricultural sectors and the business community.
Under the package, additional electricity will be provided to industries and farmers at a concessional price for the next three years (November 2025 to October 2028).
The Prime Minister said that the price of units available to the industrial sector at Rs 34 and the agricultural sector at Rs 38 will be significantly reduced and additional units will be provided. In the next three years, additional electricity will be provided to the industrial and agricultural sectors at a price of Rs 22.98 per unit for the entire year.
Shahbaz Sharif said that neither domestic consumers nor any other sector will bear the burden of electricity provided under the Roshan Sanad Electricity Package. The efforts of Power Minister Sardar Owais Leghari and his team in preparing this package are commendable.
He said that the development of industry and agriculture is very important for the development of the country’s economy and increase in employment. All possible steps are being taken to increase the competitiveness of the country’s industries and agricultural sector in the region and to increase business facilities.
The Prime Minister said that under the package given in the winter of last year, the industrial and agricultural sectors used 410 gigawatts of additional electricity, thanks to which the wheels of industries started moving, exports increased and employment opportunities were created.
Shahbaz Sharif said that the journey to economic stability from the economic crisis was certainly difficult, but it was possible with the hard work of the economic team and the cooperation of all of you. If the industrial and agricultural sectors develop, the country will get rid of debts. By the grace of God, economic indicators have improved due to better policies.
He said that but we all have to work harder together. I firmly believe that with your cooperation and the hard work of the economic team, we will soon achieve the goal of economic independence of Pakistan.
