ECC may allow Bahria Foundation to set up LNG terminal

IThe government may withdraw a plan that permitted the Ministry of Maritime Affairs to set up a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal and instead allow the Bahria Foundation to set up the terminal in Karachi.

Bahria Foundation was working on building a new LNG terminal at Sonmiani connected to the Hub-Nawabshah gas pipeline project without any public funding. Meanwhile, the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the cabinet allowed the Ministry of Maritime Affairs to work out a plan for setting up one more LNG terminal.
