Pakistan has revitalized its energy sector by restarting the Jamshoro Joint Venture Limited (JJVL) plant, a $250 million facility idle since 2020.

Located in Deh Shah Bukhari, the plant leverages advanced U.S. technology to produce liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas liquids (NGL), supplying gas to nearly 700,000 households.

On July 17, 2025, Pakistan finalized the reactivation, overcoming years of legal and regulatory hurdles.

The Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) approved a 66:34 revenue-sharing agreement, enabling Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGC) to claim 25% of LPG output at OGRA-notified prices.

This move slashes Pakistan’s $3.85 billion LPG import bill from FY24, saving $108 million annually.

The government also expects to earn $200 million in foreign exchange and create 5,000 direct and indirect jobs, energizing Sindh’s local communities.

Energy experts praise the plant for cutting reliance on imported fuels, aligning with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for affordable energy and economic growth.

The JJVL revival strengthens Pakistan’s energy security and drives economic progress, marking a bold step toward self-reliance.
