ADB assesses feasibility of financing ML-1 project
Listen to article Experts from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) on Saturday inspected the Karachi to Rohri railway line, which forms a key section of the long-delayed Main Line-1 (ML-1) up-gradation project. ADB Chief Transport Planner Sangyoon Kim, accompanied by Pakistan Railways' chief engineer open lines, examined the 480-kilometre track. Senior railway officials including infrastructure specialists, divisional superintendents of Karachi and Sukkur and other representatives were also present. The ADB team is expected to meet the chief executive officer of Pakistan Railways, the additional general manager for infrastructure and Chinese experts currently working on the ML-1 project. According to officials, the ADB's fact-finding specialists are preparing a detailed report to assess the feasibility and potential of financing the Karachi-Rohri segment, which is part of the first ML-1 package. The proposed upgrading is vital not just for improving the country's railway system but also to support key economic projects. The completion of this section will ensure smoother and faster transportation of coal from Thar and easier access to strategic mineral resources like those in Reko Diq. The ML-1 project has been in the pipeline for nearly two decades. Its first feasibility report was prepared in the early 2000s but progress remained slow due to the lack of political will and consistent financial constraints. The project regained momentum after the launch of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project in 2015, when ML-1 was included as a strategic infrastructure scheme. Initially, China had shown keen interest in financing the entire ML-1 through concessionary loans. However, in later years, Beijing became hesitant, mainly due to Pakistan's worsening financial health, concerns over loan repayments and delays in other CPEC-related projects. The original ML-1 stretches over 1,872 kilometres, running from Karachi to Peshawar and passing through major cities like Hyderabad, Rohri, Multan, Lahore and Rawalpindi. It connects over 90 railway stations and has the capacity to handle more than 75% of passenger and freight traffic. Once completed, the project is expected to transform Pakistan Railways by reducing travel time by half, improving safety standards, increasing train speed up to 160 km per hour and significantly boosting freight capacity. It is expected to turn the country's outdated rail network into a modern, reliable and efficient transport system. Initially, the cost of upgrading ML-1 was estimated at around $6.8 billion. However, due to changing designs, economic instability and currency depreciation, the financial estimate has been revised multiple times. The current estimated cost is around $6.6 billion, though further changes are possible depending on scope adjustments and financing terms. China's reluctance to move forward with ML-1 financing has led Pakistan to approach other lenders, including the ADB. While the ADB has not yet committed funding for the entire project, their recent inspection and meetings indicate a strong interest in exploring different possibilities. Officials believe that if Pakistan is able to present a well-structured proposal and show improved project management capacity, the ADB may step in either fully or partially to fund initial phases. Pakistan Railways views ML-1 as a turning point for the sector's revival, but it is still unclear whether international lenders will step forward at a time when China has apparently pulled back. According to the officials, it will take some time – no one knows how much – before the ADB decides whether to finance the project or not, however, the railways at all levels is trying its best to get financing either entirely or partially, as train derailments in some sections are now becoming a routine, resulting in less passenger traffic.

Industry calls for fixing basics before adopting 5G
Listen to article The Asian Development Bank's (ADB) latest report has highlighted critical weaknesses in Pakistan's digital infrastructure, warning that without urgent reform, the country risks falling further behind regional peers in broadband adoption and digital inclusion. Despite mobile broadband coverage exceeding 80% of the population, only 54% of Pakistanis are active mobile internet users. The gap, according to the ADB, is driven by high taxation, low affordability of devices and a persistent digital literacy divide, particularly among women and rural population. "Pakistan's digital potential is immense, but it remains under-utilised," said Kazim Mujtaba, President of Consumer Division at Jazz. "The fact that millions remain offline despite being covered by mobile broadband reflects a systemic issue: for many, connectivity is still unaffordable." The report notes that Pakistan remains one of the most heavily taxed telecom markets in the region, with broadband use subject to nearly 20% sales tax in addition to import duties and unpredictable spectrum pricing. These policy challenges, according to telecom operators, not only raise the cost of service for end-users but also limit investment in infrastructure. "The ADB's recommendations are closely aligned with what the industry has long been advocating," added Mujtaba. "Simplified taxation, predictable spectrum pricing and easier rights of way for fibre are not just technical fixes; they are enablers of inclusive growth." The ADB has called for a series of structural reforms to unlock Pakistan's digital economy. These include reducing the GST on telecom services to a flat 5%, delinking spectrum fee from the US dollar to avoid exchange rate shocks and facilitating public-private partnerships to expand connectivity in underserved regions. The report also stresses the importance of improving digital access in public institutions such as schools and health centres. While 5G remains a policy ambition, the industry maintains that immediate focus must be on closing the gap in 4G use. "We need to fix the basics first – access to affordable smartphones, digital literacy and reducing the gender divide," said Mujtaba. "Without that, any talk of 5G is premature."

Pakistan, SPAR6C explore carbon market
Listen to article Federal Minister for Climate Change Dr Musadik Malik, held a meeting on Tuesday with the delegation of SPAR6C (Supporting Preparedness for Article 6 Cooperation), a global initiative overseen by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). SPAR6C is a five-year programme (2022-2027) supporting Pakistan, Colombia, Thailand, and Zambia in preparing to participate effectively in international carbon markets under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. According to a statement, during the meeting, both sides discussed avenues for strengthening Pakistan's readiness for Article 6 cooperation, with a particular focus on the student sponsorship programme under SPAR6C. They reviewed ongoing support for Pakistani students who have been trained or conducted research related to Article 6 and explored future opportunities to connect their expertise with national carbon market initiatives.
