I have a basic question in which I hope an esteemed knowledgeable member can answer. When a company decides to conduct a pre-feasibility study on a hydro dam project, what type of work do they focus mainly in their report? What is the main difference between a pre-feasibility study and the full feasibility study on a project.

A concept or a pre feasibility study is a preliminary study in the early phase of project planning undertaken to determine if it would be worthwhile to proceed to the feasibility study stage.

feasibility study is an assessment of the practicality of a proposed plan or method.

hope that answers your question sir
 
We should know that it is difficult to benefit from infrastructure investment. Usually the country that you live in should do this hard work. It is just like Marshall Plan. The biggest beneficiary is Pakistan.

Pakistani Industry only can be developed by enough Power, Capacity, Energy which is the purpose of CPEC. Chinese Labor intensive industry will be transferred to Pakistan, not India, so it is a chance for pakistan. Premise is a stable situation in Pakistan.

ISLAMABAD: A Chinese firm will be awarded the contract to build $2.5 billion Gwadar liquefied natural gas (LNG) and the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline in November, Interstate Gas Systems (ISGS), who opened the technical bid for the construction of projects told media personnel on Wednesday.

Mubeen Saulat, ISGS managing director, said that the Chinese state firm China Petroleum Pipelines Bureau (CPP) has submitted technical and commercial bids in accordance with the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) rules. While ISGS, after scrutinising the documents opened the technical bid adding that the commercial bid will be opened in November.

CPP will construct the terminal with a capacity to handle 500 mmcfd (million cubic feet per day) of LNG and a floating storage gasification unit. It will also build the 700 kilometre long Gwadar to Nawabshah pipeline.


"The dual projects will be completed at the cost of about $2.5 billion, 85 per cent of the investment will be done by the Chinese company while government of Pakistan will provide 15pc of equity," said Saulat.
The ISGS official also added that the CPP will acquire a loan from Exim Bank which Pakistan will repay in the coming years through the revenue earned from the project.

The CPEC, with a planned portfolio of projects totalling around $46 billion, will link Gwadar, Khuzdar and other areas on way to Dera Ghazi Khan, Dera Ismail Khan and Peshawar along its central route.

The eastern route will connect Gwadar to Ratodero, Sukkur, and Karachi and upward to cities in Punjab, and from there to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the Khunjerab Pass.

Linking Gwadar to the rest of Pakistan and the western Chinese city of Kashgar, 3,000 kilometres away, will involve major infrastructure work in Balochistan.

نئی مجوزہ پانچ سالہ آٹو پالیسی ،موٹرز ڈیلرز کیلئے مزید مراعات کی تجویز زیر غور


کراچی(کامرس رپورٹر)حکومت کی جانب سے نئی مجوزہ پانچ سالہ آٹو پالیسی میںتین سالہ پرانی گاڑیوں کی کمرشل درآمد کی اجازت دینے کے ساتھ ساتھ موٹرز ڈیلرز کیلئے مزید مراعات کی تجویز زیر غور ہیں جس کے نتیجے میں مقامی کار اسمبلرز کی اجارہ داری ختم ہونے کے امکانات ہیں کیونکہ مقامی اسمبلرز نہ صرف لوکلائزیشن میں اضافے بلکہ کاروں کی قیمتیں کم کرنے میں بھی مکمل طور پر ناکام رہے ہیں۔تفصیلات کے ملک میں مقامی کار اسمبلرز کی اجارہ داری اور مقامی طور پر تیار ہونے والی کاروں کے نرخوں میں مسلسل اضافے پر پہلے ہی مسابقتی کمیشن اور اسٹیٹ بینک بھی اپنی ایک رپورٹ میں شدید تحفظات کا اظہار کرچکی ہے۔ذرائع کے مطابق بعض حکومتی حلقوں کا بھی یہ کہنا ہے کہ مقامی اسمبلرز نہ صرف لوکلائزیشن میں اضافے میں ناکام رہے ہیں بلکہ کاروں کے نرخوں میں کمی کیلئے بھی اقدامات نہیں کرسکے ہیں،ایسے حلقوں کا کہنا ہے کہ مقامی کار ساز ادارے مینو فیکچرنگ کے بجائے اسمبلرز کا کردار ادار کررہے ہیں اور مراعات مینو فیکچرزز کی حاصل کررہے ہیں۔موٹر ڈیلرز ایسوسی ایشن کے ذرائع نے بھی اس بات کی تصدیق کی ہے کہ نئی مجوزہ آٹو پالیسی میں تین سالہ پرانی گاڑیوں کی کمرشل درآمد کی اجازت دینے کے ساتھ ساتھ درآمد کنندگا ن کیلئے مزید مراعات دینے کی تجاویز بھی زیر غور ہیں،تاہم مقامی اسمبلرز کی لابی حرکت میں آگئی ہے اور ان کی کوشش ہے کہ گاڑیوں کی درآمد کے بجائے انہیں ہی تمام تر مارکیٹ پر حکمرانی کرنے کی اجازت دی جائے۔

Excellent News. I wish it had been built years ago instead of coming under pressure.
