Total development outlay would be over PKR2,100 billion, including Federal PSDP of PKR900 billion for upcoming financial year. NEC was informed that the revised estimate for the total development outlay of the ongoing year is PKR1,527 billion.

While other major projects such as Karachi Circular Railway (KCR), KPT-PIPRI Freight Corridor, Kharian – Rawalpindi Motorway, Balkasar – Mianwali Road, Quetta – Karachi – Chaman Highway are also likely to be launched during the year.

The Government has, for the first time ever made an allocation of PKR61 billion in PSDP for financing the viability gap of PPP projects, to make sure that PPP projects can be successfully implemented. Addressing the meeting the Prime Minister emphasized on increasing the pace of implementation of development projects to ensure that the gains made through stabilization of the economy could be translated into economic growth resulting in the well-being of the people of Pakistan.
