A Chinese company has announced plans to install 3,000 electric vehicle load stations (EV) throughout Pakistan, with the aim of increasing green energy adoption and creating employment opportunities.
A delegation from the AM Group of China met with Sindh’s Minister of Energy, Nasir Hussain Shah, and other interested parties to discuss the expansion of EV infrastructure in the country.
In statements to the media, Nasir Shah confirmed that the load stations would be established in urban areas and along the roads, with full support from the provincial government.
Each loading station is expected to cost around RS8 million, with an initial deposit of RS1 million required for the installation.
The initiative is expected to generate around one million jobs, providing great impulse to the Pakistan labor sector.
ADM Group also plans to establish EV manufacturing plants in Pakistan and has already signed an agreement with the Federal Government for the development of load infrastructure.
If the company establishes production facilities in Sindh, the provincial government is considering buying at least 20% of the electric vehicles manufactured locally.
The ADM Group CEO, Yasir Bhambhani, declared that the company is ready to begin the local EV production this year if approval is given.
He added that electric vehicles “made in Pakistan” could be exported to seven countries, including India, as part of future expansion plans.
The firm aims to establish three manufacturing plants in Karachi, Punjab and Baluchistan, with an annual projected production capacity of 72,000 units.
The investment is expected to improve the EV industry of Pakistan, reduce the dependence of fossil fuels and contribute to environmental sustainability.
