By the end of 2018 this year, at least 10 industrial institutions will begin production in Gwadar Port-Free Zone. Including auto oil and auto industries and services industries, including Palm Oil processing units.
Zhengzhou Zhong, chairman of the China Overseas Ports Holding Company (COPHC), said that $300 mil has been invested for the 1st phase of establishment of various industries in the Gwadar Port-Free zone. More than 200 million dollars will be more invested on the completion of these industrial institutions.
He said that out these 10 industrial institutes, six industrial institutions are from China and four industries are locally manufacturing industries.
He said that many other countries including China are investing in this special economic zones, which are set up under the CPEC which will help in promoting the industrial and economic development of Pakistan.

refurbishment work to complete by 2023, increase power generation by 35 percent
KARACHI: The refurbishment work on 1,000 megawatts of Mangla hydropower plants by General Electric (GE) is set for completion within the next five years.
GE refurbishment work would help increase Mangla power generation capacity by around 35 percent, reported The News.
The project is being jointly funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and French development agency.
Mangla’s refurbishment is set to be concluded by 2023, at a cost of Rs15 billion, said Sarim Sheikh, Chief Executive officer (CEO) of GE Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan.
He added after the conclusion of the refurbishment work, the plants would be able to generate 35 percent more electricity using the same amount of water.
This is part of Water and Power Development Authority’s (Wapda) plan to raise the share of low-cost hydropower generation in national grid and maximize share of it.
The Mangla power station is situated in Kashmir and has an installed capacity of 1,000MW.
The present station constitutes ten generating units, with a capacity of 100 megawatts each and useful life of thirty-years, protractible up to thirty-five years.
Its first unit got commissioned in 1967 and every unit there has been working efficiently and generating electricity according to its installed capacity despite crossing its useful life a long time ago.
Mr Sheikh shared the latest technology was being utilized to optimize generation capacity of Mangla hydropower project and the same amount of water used to generate 1,000 megawatts would be enough to generate 1,300 MW.
He said the company was increasing its footprint in renewable, coal, gas and hydropower across Pakistan.
40 percent of Pakistan’s total electricity generation is expected to be produced by General Electric.
“Pakistan’s generation capacity will stand at around 35,000MW by 2019; of which 14,000MW would be generated through GE equipment,” the company’s executive added.

China proposes to build 40 environmental friendly gravity dam on river Indus.
Though value of these projects are double from proposed Kalabagh dam, but electricity production can be 14 times more - 50,000 megawatt.
Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President of the Pakistan Ecomony Watch, said that rather emphasizing on the construction of disputed projects, we should go for alternatives.
China has proposed to construct 40 environmental friendly gravity dams on the banks of the river Indus, which are twice in cost of Kalabagh dam, but electricity generation will be 14 times more, almost fifty thousand megawatt, which will increase national production and Pakistan will become a power-exporting country.
In a statement issued here on Wednesday, Dr. Murtaza Mughal said that Chinese proposal is a viable as it has already built a 280 MW small Gravity Dam near Chashma. The construction of small dams is being preferred in comparison to large dams around the world.
Apart of this by installing cheap generators like Japan on flowing water, electricity can be generated constantly, which is constantly ignored.
According to him... the Dasu,Di Mir Bhasha and Munda Dams will generate a total of 9520 MW power generation, other benefits of these dams are also more than Kalabagh Dam. There is national consensus about Dasu, Di Mir Bhasha and Munda Dams, these are situated in the rocky mountains, not in a population areas, their hight and capacity to store water is also more than the Kala bagh Dam.
Dasu, Dimir Bhasha and Munda Dam's uprising can be possible to while its not possible on Kalabagh Dam.
So these projects should be completed on a war basis.
