The project is expected to cost PKR 55 billion in total, of which 70% would come from federal funding and 30% from the government of Balochistan. The national treasury is anticipated to save PKR 80 billion a year thanks to this program, which would have otherwise been lost owing to delinquent electricity payments.
The project guarantees a more durable and effective water supply for Balochistani agriculture, marking a significant step towards wealth and uniform growth.
