Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar and Federal Energy Minister Muhammad Ali also witnessed the ceremony.
The MoU will help increase the petrol production capacity of the refinery from 250,000 metric tons to 1.6 million metric tons and high speed diesel from 0.6 million metric tons to 2 million metric tons. The petrol and high speed diesel coming from the refinery would prove to be an alternative of the imported costly fuel.
