The Special Investment Facilitation Corporation (SIFC) is rapidly advancing crucial communication sector initiatives through strategic motorway development projects across Pakistan.
The National Highway Authority (NHA) has outlined an ambitious plan focusing on the expedited completion of three key motorway projects: M-6 (Sukkur-Hyderabad), M-12 (Sialkot-Kharian), and M-13 (Kharian-Rawalpindi). These infrastructure investments are expected to generate substantial economic benefits and improve national connectivity.
Preliminary assessments indicate that expanding the M-12 and M-13 motorways to six lanes could potentially reduce travel times by approximately 40% while simultaneously stimulating commercial activities along these corridors.
The SIFC has committed to ensuring project transparency, accelerated completion, and the provision of modern infrastructure. A notable collaboration between NHA and Malaysian company Bina Puri has been established for the M-9 project, further demonstrating the corporation's strategic approach to infrastructure development.
By facilitating timely financial disbursements and maintaining strict project oversight, SIFC aims to mitigate potential financial risks for contractors while maintaining project momentum. The proactive approach is expected to generate employment opportunities and contribute to broader economic revitalization.
The Sukkur-Hyderabad (M-6) motorway project remains a primary priority, with concurrent focus on completing the Sialkot-Kharian (M-12) and Kharian-Rawalpindi (M-13) segments. These interconnected projects represent a comprehensive strategy to modernize Pakistan's transportation infrastructure.
Economic experts anticipate that these infrastructure investments could significantly enhance national logistics capabilities, reduce transportation costs, and create new commercial corridors that support sustainable economic growth.
