ISLAMABAD (The Thursday Times) — Wazarat-e-Bahri Umoor ne Jumme ko bataya hai ke Pakistan ke sab se bare karobari groups mein se aik, Nishat Group, us nayi bandargah mein sarmayakari ka jaiza lene ke liye tayyar hai jise wafaqi hukoomat tameer karna chahti hai.
Group ke chairman Mian Muhammad Mansha ne wafaqi wazir-e-bahri umoor Muhammad Junaid Anwar Chaudhry se mulaqat mein kaha ke group is mansoobe mein dilchaspi rakhta hai aur us ki tawajjo baramdi sanaton ke liye logistics par hogi. Sarmayakari ki raqam, maaliyati dhanche ya kisi muahide ka elaan nahin kiya gaya.
Wafaqi wazir ne kaha ke sarmaya aur jadeed technology lane aur mulk ke bandargahi dhanche ko wusat dene ke liye niji shoba ki zyada shirkat zaroori hai. Un ka kehna tha ke aik aur bandargah maashi taraqqi ki nayi raahein kholegi, rozgar paida karegi aur Pakistan ko ilaqai tijarat aur logistics ka markaz banane mein madad degi.
Unhon ne kaha ke hukoomat karobar dost mahaul ke liye pur-azm hai aur bahri shobe mein dilchaspi rakhne wale maqami aur ghair mulki sarmayakaron ko sahoolat faraham karegi.
Bandargah kahan ban sakti hai
Hukoomat ne abhi yeh faisla nahin kiya ke bandargah kahan banegi. November 2025 mein Wazarat-e-Bahri Umoor ne wafaqi wazir ki sarbarahi mein aik committee banayi thi jo Sir Creek se Jiwani tak sahil par nayi gehre pani ki bandargahon ke liye maqamaat ki nishandahi kar rahi hai. Is ke arkaan mein Karachi Port Trust, Port Qasim Authority, Gwadar Port Authority, Special Investment Facilitation Council aur Sindh o Balochistan ki hukoomatein shamil hain.
Committee teen mumkina maqamaat ka pani ki gehrai, dastiyab zameen, maahooliyati asraat, sarak aur rail rabton aur security ki bunyad par jaiza le rahi hai. Wazarat ne na maqamaat zahir kiye hain, na laagat aur na koi timeline, taham us ke taweel muddati mansoobe mein teen se chaar nayi bandargahein shamil hain.
Maujooda bandargahon mein gunjaish
Nayi bandargah ki zaroorat maujooda rush ke bajaye mustaqbil ki talab ki bunyad par hai. Wazarat ke apne aadad o shumar ke mutabiq Port Qasim apni gunjaish ke taqreeban 65 feesad, Karachi Port taqreeban 52 feesad aur Gwadar 5 se 10 feesad par kaam kar rahi hai. Wazarat ko tawaqqo hai ke yeh teenon bandargahein 2035 aur 2045 ke darmiyan mukammal bhar jayengi, jis ki aik wajah Afghanistan aur Wasti Asia ke saath transit tijarat hogi.
Aalmi Bank ki paish goi ke mutabiq 2039-40 tak Karachi ki bandargahon se salana taqreeban 21 crore 10 lakh ton saman guzrega, jo 2019-20 ke taqreeban 9 crore 30 lakh ton se dugne se bhi zyada hai. Chunke gehre pani ki bandargah ki mansooba bandi, maali intezam aur sarak o rail se rabte mein kai saal lagte hain, is liye 2030 ki dahai ke aakhir mein darkaar gunjaish ke liye maqamaat ka intikhab abhi karna hoga.
Sindh hukoomat alag se Keti Bandar ko gehre pani ki bandargah banane ke liye sarkari o niji shirakat dari ka model tayyar kar rahi hai. Yeh wazeh nahin ke Keti Bandar wafaqi committee ke mumkina maqamaat mein shamil hai ya nahin. Kuwait bhi alag se Pakistani zakheera gahon aur bandargahon ke zariye eendhan ki dobara baramad par raza mand ho chuka hai.
Nishat Group ki dilchaspi us ke karobar se mutabiqat rakhti hai. Us ki bari company Nishat Mills mulk ke sab se bare textile baramad kunindagan mein shamil hai, jabke group ke asason mein MCB Bank, DG Khan Cement, Nishat Power aur Adamjee Insurance shamil hain. August mein is ne bijli taqseem kaar companiyon ki nijkari mein Faisalabad Electric Supply Company ke liye boli dene wale consortium ki qiyadat ki thi.
Dilchaspi ka izhar koi waada nahin. Kisi bandargah ke liye ab bhi riyayati muahida, zameen, dredging aur aisi sarmayakari darkaar hogi jis ki wapsi mein dahaiyan lagti hain.
