If All the Oil Reserves of Saudi Arabia and Iran are put together, they approximately make up 375 Billion Barrels, whereas a Single Thar Coal Reserve of Sindh is about 850 trillion cubic feet, which is more than the Oil Reserves Of Saudi Arabia & Iran.
These reserves estimated at 850 trillion cubic feet of gas, are about 30 times higher than Pakistan’s proven gas reserves of 28 trillion cubic feet. Dr Murtaza Mughal president of Pakistan Economy Watch in a statement said, that these reserves of coal worth USD 25 trillion not only cater the electricity requirements of the country for next 100 years but also save almost four billion dollars in staggering oil import bill. As less as 2% usage of Thar Coal reserves are capable of providing 20,000 Mega Watts of electricity for next 40 years, with out any single day of load shedding. If not entire, just half of the reserves would be utilized, wonder how much electricity could be generated.
The coal generated power could have a price as low as 0.2 Paisas per unit whereas power generated by Independent Power Projects presently costs an average Pakistani consumer almost Rs. 9.27 per unit. It Requires Just 420 Billion Rupees Initial Investment, whereas Pakistan receives annually 1220 Billion from Tax Only. Chinese and other companies had not only carried out surveys and feasibility of this project and also offered 100 percent investment in last 7 to 8 years but the traitor stooge government is very likely to sell or privatize these reserves to foreign authorities for their own dirty, sadistic interests.
