The PML-N-led federal government has decided to close Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM) and release large lands in Sindh province for industrial use.
While this step was taken under the guidance of the Ministry of Industry and Production, it is also planned to establish a new steel factory on the PSM land. The decisions are supported by the Private Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC).
It is envisaged that PSM will be scrapped and its land handed over to the Sindh government. Sindh province is working on far-reaching plans, including converting the remaining area for industrial purposes. The Ministry of Industry and Production continues its efforts to take back PSM lands and turn them into a potential Export Development Zone (EPZ) or Special Economic Zone (SEZ).
It is known that PSM has experienced record production and financial difficulties in the past. Currently, gas supply is minimal to maintain its infrastructure and Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) is threatened with power outage due to unpaid bills.
The PML-N-led federal government is drawing a clear roadmap for the future of PSM, and in this context, the Ministry of Industry is focusing on finding solutions regarding gas supply to prevent significant infrastructure damage. Additionally, decisions regarding the closure of PSM and the reuse of its land are strengthened by economic and financial support.
These developments are considered important steps for Pakistan's steel industry and economic policies and are expected to have an impact on the future of the sector.
