We can not start n engine manufacturing facility and the maximum we can do is make as much of the parts internally as possible. For this to happen local electronic and mechanical industry has to chip in which brings us into question of modernizing the steel industry in pakistan and the auto and related mechanical part set ups in Pakistan. JICA has offered support in this regard and a strict deletion program for the auto industry will go a long way in improving the skill and the industrial base involved. Same way importing rice plants, sugar plants and parts, boilers and similar plants/parts should not be imported and rather built in house. HMC and Wah industrial complex can earn decent revenue through this just like PAC manufactures parts for boeing and can overhaul aircrafts as well.
Granted auto / rice/sugar industries and aircraft or aircraft engine are all together different ball games but you have to start somewhere and the workers, SSL (semi skilled labors), SL (skilled labors) from the above mentioned industries can be trained much more readily and easily in manufacturing requiring more precision and skill.
