Geo Strategic Location of Pakistan

Vision 2025 is the official policy document of Pakistan

Connectivity is an important pillar of vision 2025

The targets set in vision 2025 are:

reduction in transportation costs

safety in mobility

effective connectivity between rural areas and

markets/urban centres

inter-provincial high-speed connectivity

Integrated road/rail networks between economic

hubs (including air, sea and dry ports)

Connectivity: Physical; Institutional; Functional;

and People to People

high-capacity transportation corridors connecting

major regional partners

Pakistan’s Development Vision – 2025

Commissioning of Gwadar deep sea port, China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), planned establishment of Nine Mega Economic Free Zones and massive

investment injected in energy and infrastructure sectors are key factors in transforming Pakistan’s economic outlook.

1. Connectivity of ports through roads, rail, and aviation to international

corridors will be ensured

2. Standards for design and operation of intermodal facilities and

related services shall be created and implemented

3. A comprehensive integrated planning system is to be developed and

implemented.

4. The role of the private sector and PPPs in infrastructure finance and

service provision to be utilized

5. Railways shall operate along commercial lines,

6. Emphasis of railways should be on freight.

7. Adapt a continuous rolling stock management system (Railways).

Pakistan’s National Transport Policy

8. Use of the landlord port management and operations model for the

ports

9. Update an integrated port master plan.

10. Monitor port charges and reduce where excessive levels are found.

11. Expansion of Aviation Infrastructure and Services

12. Policies and procedures to meet guidelines of the International

Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

13. Pakistan International Airways (PIA) to add private participation to

its ownership.

Pakistan’s National Transport Policy

Development Strategy of Pakistan

Road Sector development Strategy

• Increase the road density from 32 km/100 km2 to 64 km/ 100 km2

till 2025

In last four years, Pakistan has initiated an ambitious program

of PKR 1.5 Trillion (US$13.63 Billion) with an increase in PSDP

allocation from Rs.40 billion to Rs.400 billion

• PSDP allocations need to be supplemented by off - budget

financing.

Through off budget financing cost saving of Rs.487.61 Billion

has been achieved during 2013-2017

• Undertake highway development projects by financing

through Public Private Partnerships (PPP).

NHA has largest BoT Regime under PPP Mode worth Rs.373

Billion.PPP projects.pptx PPP Project Cycle from RFP to

Concession is 12 months

• To improve road safety, the component of road safety will be

made part of every road development project

• Complete North – South Motorway Link

• Strengthen East – West Connectivity i.e. Baluchistan • Contribution to GDP Growth i.e. 1.0% to 1.5%

China – Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)

CPEC is a 3,218 km long corridor, to be built over next several

years (2030), consisting of highways, railways and pipelines.

It will connect Kashgar in China’s Western province Xinjiang to

rest of the world through Gwadar port in Pakistan.

CPEC is an initiative under One Belt One Road Concept

(OBOR) which will act as a bridge for the new Maritime Silk

Route that envisages linking 3 billion people in Asia, Africa and

Europe, and its part of a Trans-Eurasian project.

The estimated cost of the project is US$75 billion, out of which

US$45 billion plus will ensure that the corridor becomes

operational by 2020. The investment will be spent on energy

generation and infrastructure development in Pakistan.

China – Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)

Almost 80% of the China’s oil is currently transported from Strait

of Malacca to Shanghai, (distance is almost 16,000 km and takes

2-3 months), with Gwadar port becoming operational, and

construction of land routes completed the distance would reduce

to less than 5,000 km.

When fully operational, Gwadar will promote the economic

development of Pakistan and become a gateway for Central Asian

countries, including Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, linking Iran and

Xinjiang to undertake marine transport.
