linitially, 660 MW Lucky and 330 MW Siddiqsons were conceived as imported coal based plants,
however, as a result of major shift in the policy of the GoP, a bar was put on new power generation
projects on imported fuels except the projects that were finalized under the CPEC or mutually agreed
between the governments of Pakistan and China. Accordingly, while considering the fact that both
projects had already achieved significant progress they were allowed to convert on to Thar coal.
As a result of PPIB's efficient handling of projects, majority of Thar coal based projects are either under
construction or about to start construction. Out of the overall fleet, 660 MW Engro power Project has
already been commissioned in July 2019 and has been ranked as the first ever Thar coal based IPP of
the country as well as the first Thar coal based project under the CPEC umbrella that has been
commissioned and started generating power. Similarly another two projects are under construction
and expected to be completed in first half of 2021, however, there is a possibility of experiencing some
delays in commissioning schedule of these projects due to the outbreak of COIVID-19 Pandemic.
In addition to setting up coal power generation and mining projects, other activities/programs under
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) are also being given due importance by all project sponsors
through developing the social sector in Thar area. The sponsor are coordinating with various NGOs, UN
offices private and government departments for carrying out various CSR activities in Thar area which
includes education, health, livelihoods, water supply and skill development.
Currently, block-I, II and VI of Thar coalfield are hosting entire portfolio of project which are being
undertaken by PPIB, however, development of more blocks of Thar coalfield in coming years would
definitely attract more interest of potential investors. Current status of block wise allocation of projects
is being shown in the below image:
