Prime Minister Announces “Roshan Economy Power Package” to Boost Industry and Agriculture

Islamabad, Pakistan — Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has announced a major economic relief initiative titled the “Roshan Economy Power Package”, aimed at accelerating the growth of Pakistan’s industrial and agricultural sectors.

Under the new package, industries and farmers will receive additional electricity at subsidized rates for the next three years, the Prime Minister revealed during a meeting with a delegation of industrial experts and business representatives in Islamabad.

According to the Prime Minister, the electricity tariff for industrial consumers, previously set at Rs 34 per unit, and for the agricultural sector at Rs 38 per unit, will be significantly reduced. Both sectors will now be supplied additional electricity at a rate of Rs 22.98 per unit.

Shehbaz Sharif emphasized that the financial burden of this package will not be transferred to any other sector, ensuring that relief directly benefits productive industries and farmers.

Highlighting the broader vision behind the initiative, the Prime Minister said the development of industry and agriculture is vital for national economic growth and employment generation. He expressed optimism that the move would help Pakistan reduce its reliance on external borrowing and strengthen the domestic economy.

“By the grace of Allah and through better policies, our economic indicators have begun to improve,” he added.

The government hopes the Roshan Economy Power Package will provide a much-needed boost to industrial output, agricultural productivity, and overall investor confidence in Pakistan’s economy.
