Thar is no longer just about generating electricity. It’s about powering new industries, attracting investment, and creating opportunities for Sindh’s future.

At the Sindh Investment & Trade Conference 2026 in Shanghai, nine agreements focused on energy, Thar coal, modern mining, and renewable energy, paving the way for new avenues of industrial development and economic cooperation.

From converting coal into valuable industrial products to exploring renewable energy solutions, battery storage, and advanced technologies, these initiatives aim to expand Sindh’s industrial potential beyond power generation.

The bigger opportunity lies in building industries around these resources, encouraging private investment, developing local expertise, and creating skilled employment for the people of Sindh.

With stronger Pakistan-China cooperation, Thar’s potential can translate into more than energy - it can help drive industrial growth, economic diversification, and long-term opportunities for the province.
