Industries of Pakistan
Industry:
The industry for satisfying human wants creates utility in the goods already produced by
nature which is term as farm utility. The industry exchanges the present utility or creates
economic volume in the commodities produced by the nature. The industry can be defined as A
collective name of all those units or organizations in an economy which are engaged in
producing material goods.
Classification of Industries

1. Primary Industries:-
The extraction of raw materials e.g mining, forestry etc.
2. Secondary Industries:
Manufacturing industries which involve in the transformation of raw materials into semi
manufactured or manufactured products e.g steel works, car industry etc.
3. Tertiary Industries:
These are concerned with providing a service to customers e.g transport, relating etc.
4. Quaternary Industries:
These provide information and expertise e.g universities research and development.

Smelting Cement cotton yarn, ghee
Weaving lime sugar and wheat flavour
Enterprise Spinning Which may be row materials
Dyeing For other industries or said
Printing Directly
Land Knitting Soft drinks tinned fruit which
Stitching Are sold directly
Raw Tanning 2. Manufactured goods which may

Raw materials for other industries
Such as bottles cotton cloth steel
Steels and wire may be raw
Material for ather industries or
Said directly to consumers
Axles, electric motors fan guards
Which entirely the raw
profit Reinvested
Materials for other industrial units 3 manufactured goods such as drugs fans, garments
motor cycle are final products sold directly to the people.

Heavy Industry:-
The large manufacturing units such as iron and steel, ship building etc which are engaged
in number of labours high capital tones of raw material etc.

Light Industry:-
Industries manufacturing articles of relatively small bulk for direct use by consumers.
Factors affecting the location of a manufacturing unit
(Human, economic and natural factors)
1. Transport and communications:-
Appropriate types are essential for some industrial goods e.g cylinders and tankers for
LNG.
Specialist terminals at ports necessary for oil tankers for bringing the fuel to generate
electricity for industries.
Transport is needed to carry the raw materials to the factory and the finished goods to the
market.
The presence of a good transport net work will enable goods to be moved more quickly.
Transport is usually more attractive to industry which are well connected than ones
which are poorly.
Industries will usually try to locate in areas where transport costs are low as possible in
orders to lower the total cost of production and maximise profit.
e.g In Pakistan may factories are located near Karachi port.

2. Presence of skilled and unskilled pool of labor.

Adequate amount of workers with the appropriate skills makes possible production of
high quality goods.
Some industries such as textile manufacturing require many workers locate near densely
populated areas where labour is plentiful.
On the other hand industries which require labour with specific skills will need to best up
either in an area where such labor is available or in places where the labour pool can be
easily trained. e.g computer software industry in Karachi. Its locaton is strongly
influenced by the availability of expertise.

3. Nearness to market:-
The presence of a ready market that is demand for the cut puts influences the location of
some industries. Industries which produce items which are brought frequently such as
drinks bread etc are usually located near population centres where the market is industries
which produce perishable goods such as dairy products and vegetables also tend to be
located near the market e.g vegetables are grown in malir and distributed in Karachi
market however technological.
Advancements in transport and refrigeration facilities have lessened the need for such
industries to be located near their markets.
4. Government:-
Can encourage the setting up and running of industries e.g reduction in tones.
The government may influence the location of industries by setting aside certain plots of
land for industrial location and development it may also prohibit the location of polluting
industries near residential areas like in Karachi, industries are set up in site area and
korangi away from residential areas. The government may also offer loans, tax exemption
to attract companies to set up industries in a country.
5. Capital:-
Adequate amount makes possible the provision of everything necessary to set up the
industry such as raw materials, machines and transport equipment.
6. Land:-
The availability of flat land is an import and factor influencing the location of an industry
such as steel mill, NRL etc. Its is generally easier and less costly to build industry on flat land.
The cost of constructing a plant affects the over all cost of production. In addition the availability
of land also allows for future expansion of the factory.

7. Raw Material:-
Adequate amount at the right time and of the best quality allows minimum out put. The
nature of the raw materials influences the location of a manufacturing industry as the cost of
transporting then to the factory add to the total cost of production industries that use bulky raw
materials tend to be located near their source in order to minimize transport costs some raw
material suffer a weight less such as sugar cane. Transport cots are lower if the factory is located
near the source of the raw materials.
e.g several tons of lime stone is needed to make few tones of cement. The transport cost will be
lower if the factory is located near limestone deposits.
8. Power:-
Regular supplies essential to keep production going. Factories are usually set up in or
near urban areas (Karachi, Lahore) which are adequately supplied with electrical Power.

Types of goods
Capital goods consumer goods
Capital goods:-
Are those goods that are utilized to produce further goods e.g
Iron and steel industry
Heavy mechanical complex
Electronics and electrical industries
Consumer goods:-
Industry is that which produces goods to be consumed direct by ultimate consumed direct
by ultimate consumers end users e.g
Pharmaceutical Industries
Synthetic industries
Leather industries

4. Lack of technical know how

5. Political Instability
6. Economic sanctions

Industrial Sickness:-
Industry which fails to generate an internal surplus on a continous basis and depends for its
survival upon frequent infusion of funds mostly from borrowings. An industrial units becomes
sick when its
a) capacity utilisation is less than 50% during the last 5yrs.
b) need of capital and machinery has been eroded by more than 50%.
c)the unit has remained close for a period of more than 6months.

CAUSES OF INDUSTRIAL SICKNESS

1. High taxation
2. Over valuation of the project
3. Break down of electricity
4. Shortage of raw material
5. Labor indiscipline
6. Wrong location
7. Lack of finance
8. Use of out dated machinery

Formal and Informal Sectors:-

The formal sector employees the permanent residents of a city (as opposed to the
informal sector i.e. those who migrate from rural areas on temporary / seasonal basis). The
Required level of education and skill is higher than that of the informal sector. The informal
sector attracts more of the migrants that come into the city. Usually they have no education and

4. Often low standard in quality of goods.
5. Work done at home or on the streets.
6. Often non-registered.
7. Mostly females and children.

Industrial Estates:
These are specific areas reserved for Industry only. They are established to help and encourage
entrepreneurs.
The Government Provides infrastructure facilities such as metalled roads, electricity, water, gas
hospitals and sanitation facilities.
The industrial estates can enjoy various incentives such as exemptions from custom duty on
imported machinery.
The private sector is also encouraged to established industrial estates in the country.

Special Industrial Zones (SIZ)

A siz can be developed even in those areas where infrastructure facilities are not available.
The interested companies (local or foreign) would develop these facilities and provide utilities
for the zones.
These are assisted by the government agencies to provide public facilities e.g. telephone,
electricity, water supply method roads.
The investors are allowed to develop their residential, commercial and social facilities in the
vicinity of the industrial zone.

The government has also offered many incentives which include tax exemptions on import of
machinery, relaxation in foreign exchange control. Simplified procedures, tax holidays and
security.

Industrial estates and there advantage for development of industries in urban areas.
1. Local transport facilities
2. Power
3. Large pool of labour available
4. Services available
5. Ready market available.
6. Research and training centres available.
Why Industrial estates have been developed.

1. Local raw material is consumed

2. Foreign exchange saved learning
3. Provides employment
4. Economy stability.
5. To groom and strength the industrial base

Export Processing Zones or Free Enterprise Zone

Export processing industries were given incentives to relocate through exemptions to relocate
through exemptions from taxes.
The EPZA was set up in 1980 with authority to plan, develop, manage and operate the EPZs
across the country.
It's first project was at Karachi, which was set up in 1981 on an area of 3300 acres.
All the infrastructure services like electricity gas water, telecommunication services were
provided to investors under simplified procedures called on window operations.
173 industrial units were approved by the beginning of 1997 for setting up various
manufacturing facilities ware houses, trading units, banks and insurance companies are working
at the KEPZ.
Employment has been provided directly to over 6000 workers.
An estimated 167.27 million dollars was invested in these units.
The main industries set up are garments leather good, electrical and electronics light engineering,
chemicals, paper products and fabric products.
The second EPZ was set up in Jan 1997 at Sialkot.
There is a joint venture between EPZ and the Punjab small industries corporation (PSIC) in
association with the Sialkot number of commercial and industries.
It is spend over 133 acres and is located in phase-III of PSICs industrial estate.
Dry Ports.
- Some in land cities, which are far from the seaports have established has dry ports
in order to promote foreign trade.
- The cities which act as dry ports help to speed up export and import procedures
e.g. by giving clearance by the custom authorities by checking processes etc.

Reasons for establishing dry ports:-

1. To reduce the Warload at Karachi Port and Port Qasim in order to seek up the checking
and clearance of cargo.
2. To help the government in the smooth collection of revenue.
3. To reduce the pressure on exporters and importers by providing hassle free transportation
of cargo from their production point to the sea port directly.
4. To stimulate foreign trade activities in those cities which are far away from the seaport.

A dry port requires certain infrastructure facilities e.g.

1. Highly efficient rail transport with a container service to carry bulk cargo.
2. Efficient managerial staff.
3. Huge storage sheds and open areas.
4. Refrigeration facilities for perishable items like fruits, vegetables.
Problems:
1. Mismanagement
2. Same dry parts have been converted in smuggling dens by the custom officials who
helped importers to their consignment clear without paying duty and tax.

Agro based Industries

Are those industries which have a backward linkage with the agricultural sector. The agro based
industries include rice, wheat milling gur and sugar making, cotton ginning, poultry, fish
processing, dairy products. The technology and skill required for the development of these
industries is not lacking what requires is the creation of a appropriate environment for the
development of these industries in rural areas. The agree industries are divided in six major parts.

1. Crops
The villagers can manufacturer a variety of products from husks of wheat and rice.

2. Non-Crops:
The wastes of certain fruits can be used for making pulp oil. The fruits can be dried and
their supply can be maintained through out the year in the local and international market.
3. Live Stock:
This industry is less capital intensive goats, sheep etc can easily be reared up by the small
formers dairy products can also be produced as they are in great demand all over the country.
The waste of animals can be used for making bio gas.
4. Fishery:
Fishing can be carried out deep into the sea for increasing the supply of fish both for
consumption at home and export.
5. Poultry:
Can provide an additional source of income to the formers
6. Edible Oil
The formers should consider sunflower and Soya bean as cash crops. If the production of
their seeds for extracting oil is carried on commercial basis it can earn a higher income.

Cottage small scale Industries.

Cottage industries are those which are carried on in the home in which the owner himself works
and is helped by the family members but no hired labor is employed. The job may be whole time
or part time. No power is used and the implements used are very simple eg wood work hand
knotted carpets etc.
Small scale industries are those which employees less than 50 workers and does not use electric
power and uses. If they, use electric power they do not employ not more than 20. Therefore
assets do not exceed Rs.2 million to 10 million.
The cottage and small scale industry may be rural or urban. In rural areas carpet industry,
poultry, rice rusking, gur making bee keeping and small repairing workshops are popular cottage
and small scale industries.
Urban industries includes hand and power loans, manufacturing of sports goods leather goods,
embroidery, tailoring works, making of silver, gold ornaments furniture making, handicrafts,
carpets etc why it is important to encourage cottage and small scale industries.

1. These industries are labour intensive and provide employment to 80% of the
Industrial labour force. This reduces unemployment and offers opportunities for self
employment
2. Traditionally, women are not encouraged to work outside their homes. Industries like
carpet weaving,candle making and handicrafts can be gainfully employed. This
increases the active labour face.
3. These industries also meet the local demand for industrial goods and save foreign
exchange.
4. There is a demand for rugs, carpets, brass ware handicrafts and embroided work in
the international market. These goods provide 30% of the export receipts of the
manufacturing sector.

5. When people are employed gainfully in villages, the migration of people from rural to
urban areas will be reduced. The acute problems of housing, sanitation, education
transport and health will be reduced in urban areas.
6. Many districts are under developed with the expansion of such industries, the regional
disparity in income can be reduced.
7. There industries make effective use of local row materials which also promotes
primary industries like agriculture and mining.
8. These does not require much capital and high technology.
9. These do not use much imported material or equipment.
10. The wastes of large scale industries particularly the cotton, sugar and steel industries,
can be used to make by products.

Difference between these industries in urban and rural areas.

Rural areas:
1. Lack of facilities and earning.
2. Cannot promote goods on higher scale
3. Transportation problems.
4. labour problem cant employ outsiders
5. Services within the areas
6. Raw material

URBAN AREAS:
1. Availability of resources
2. Good market and selling facilities
3. No labour problem
4. Serve higher areas

Government policy towards small scale and cottage industries

- The government of Pakistan has taken various measures for the development of
these industries.
- At present the growth and expansion of small scale industries is the responsibility
of the princes.
- Each province has set up its own small industries corporation board. These are
Punjab small Industries Corporation (PSK) Sindh Small Industries Corporation
(SSIC) Small Industries Development Board NWFP (SIDB) Directorate of Small
Industries Balochistan (DSIB)
- The Government of Pakistan has created another authority: SMEDA small and
medium enterprises development authority in act 1998.
- This Authority is to provide and facilitate support prices generate greater
employment opportunities and drive industrial growth.
- The main measures which have been adopted for production and popularizing the
products of these Industries are as follows.
- Industrial Estates.
- Providing marketing facilities
- Technical Services

SOLUTIONS:
If these industries is to be developed in rural and urban areas. We shall have to use new
machinery latest methods of production, research on new designs etc.
The people are unable to go abroad and find market to sell the products.
The government should provide the type of handicrafts demanded in the international
market.
The import of machinery used for the production of goods on small scale should be
allowed under personal baggage scheme.
The government should also grant scholarships for industrial education.

Types of Industries

Industrial uses of Water

Water is required almost in all the industries
In some industries it is the raw material cooling and washing purpose
Some of the industries which use water are:
1. Thermal power station to generate electricity by stem
2. Hydro electric power statics to generate electricity
3. Iran and steel to cool down furnaces
4. Pharmaceutical for injections and syrups
5. Textile for washing and dyeing
6. Chemical industry for chemicals and solutions
7. Food Processing for beverages
8. Tanning for washing and dyeing
In areas where the rainfall is relatively high or where there are large rivers, access to water
resources is fairly easy
Places like Peshawar, Lahore, Faisalabad etc have adequate water for industrial uses
Industries located in low-rainfall areas like sindh and Balochistan, that are also for away from
major rivers, suffer from water
Example of Karachi
Karachi is the largest industrial centre and its requires massive quantities of water
The water supplied through Pipes is insufficient to meet industries needs.
A large quantity of water has to be supplied by tankers which operator throughout the day
Water shortages continue to affect productivity
Some of the industrial plants near the malir and lyari rivers have bared wells in to the river bed.
Although the initially topped water was sweet, it has become.

A number of Industries have to instead desalination plants which have added to the cost of
Production. Pakistan steel does not suffer water shortages become it is supplied by the KWB..

The Noariabad hub Industrial Estate

The Noariabad state is located 90 km north of Karachi or the way to Hyderabad.

It was established in 1983.
Initially a number of tube wells were installed were installed in kundi nadi but the water
obstained from this source is still inadequate.

As a result only 70 out of k 100 industries that were planned for the estate have been developed.
50% have already closed down
Hub Industrial Estate was established in 1981.
1200 industries were planned for the estate.
Out of there 170 have been installed.
105 industries were closed down.
Although the estate is supplied by water through the has down which is rot sufficient.
A large quantity of water is supplied to the estate through tankers for Karachi even this is
insufficient, time consuming and costly.
Industrial development
In general the industrial development of Pakistan be divided into three period.
Period of rapid industrial growth 1948-71
1. The period from 1947 to 1971 is one of rapid industrial growth in Pakistan though the growth
rate was not uniform throughout the of period.

2. The entrepreneurs who migrated from India had adequate managerial skill and financial
resources

3. A ready home market existed.

4. The raw materials was available locally and the foreign exchanged earned by the businessman
during Korean war made it possible to develop consumer goods industries like cotton textile,
sugar, cement etc an a large scale.
5. The second five years plan.
6. The third five year plan.
The allocation for industrial development was doubled.
Emphasis was shifted from consumer to capital goods
The planet with difficulties in the very first year was broke out with India and funds had to be
diverted for defence USA the main donar suspended aid later political disturbances adversely
affected the economic development of the country In spite of these difficulties the pace of
industrial development continued though at a slower rate.

Period Of Slow Growth 1972 77

Industrial development in Pakistan greatly suffered because of Internal and external forces.
1. Separation of Bangladesh
2. Nation action of Industries
3. The uncorporate policies of the government reduced the of investment in the private
sector.
4. Foreign in skills were also reluctant to invest

Period of fluctuating growth 1977 onwards

1. Denationalization of industries
2. Private sectors were given incentives.
3. Foreign investors were invited and provided
many facilities.
4. Modernization of existing plants

5. Establishments of few new projects.

Cotton Textile industry

Cotton textiles is Pakistans largest industry it provides employments to 50% of the Industrial
labour force. It has been developed at various locations. Karachi, Hyderabad and Faisalabad are
the main centres.

Processes of Cotton Mills

1. Ginning: It is the process by which cotton seeds are separated from cotton and then it is
compressed into bales.
2. Spinning: It is the process by which thread or yarn is made from raw cotton.
3. Weaving:
It is the process by which cloth is made from yarn.
Fibres from plants (flex, cotton) are first SP into thread. Threads are arranged
length wise on a loom. These are the warp other threads the weft are then wave
cross wise through the warp this weaving of threads makes the cloth.

Location of cotton textile industries

1. Karachi possesses on infrastructure that is not available in other regions.
2. histrocial advantage of Karachi as an industrial city.
3. Cotton graving area in Indust valley of mid-sindh accessible.
4. Major roads from cotton growing areas
5. Railways from cotton growing areas.
6. Higher humidity assists cotton industry

Advantage Of Exporting Cotton Textile Then Raw Cotton

1. Value of raw cotton is very low then manufactured cotton products in international
market.

2. Cotton produced in our country is directly consumed and also fulfills the demand in
international market thus earns a good foreign market.

3. Provides employment to skilled and unskilled labor.

4. As foreign exchange would increase process of industrialization would speedup.

Problems of Fluctuation of the Cotton Textile Industry.

1. Crop can be some time affected by leaf virus, disease, fly attacks and flood so den
material for Industry.

2. Machinery is old and obsolete.

3. Shortage of technical hands.

4. Financial liability and pear liquidity.

5. Recession in the international market.

6. Lack of International standards and strong competition with Egypts Korea Thailand,
Taiwan, Hongkong.

Government Policies and measures to reactivate textile Industry

The Manufacturing of Cotton Fabric

Loam is used for weaving fabric
After the weaving is complete, the fabric is taken to the checking department where it is checked
and mended if necessary.
After the fabric has been woven and checked thoroughly. It is folded by the folding machines.
Sugar Industry
 It is the second most important among all the manufacturing industries.

 Any cut in the yield of Sugar cane caused by adverse climate (floods), disease or pest
attack.

 Payment to the farmers is done very late which is a disincentive to sugar cane
cultivations and prices also cause fluctuation in amount of Sugar cane available.

 Pakistan produces Sugar cane in the large quantity but local per hectare production is
comparatively low.

 Sucrose proportion is less

 Due to less sucrose preparation cost of sugar production is high.

 Sucrose proportion in sugar cane produced in Pakistan is form 8% to 9%.

Sucrose:a complex carbohydrate found in many plants and used as a sweetening

agent

Location of Industry
1. Availability of Sugar cane at the form because sugar cane is a product which starts to
lose weight soon after it is harvested therefore it must be crushed as soon as possible
after harvesting.

2. Sucrose proportion.

By Products and Uses

1. Bogasse is used to turn the mills to place of fuel, making of chip boards paper and
animal feed.

2. Molasses. The quantity of molasses is about 4% of the sugarcane crushed. This can well
be utilized to produce various types of acids. Ethylene is another product which can be
obtained and turned into various types of packing plastics. Molasses can thus be used as
a base for the chemical Industry.

Sugar Production Capacity

There were 66 mills in 92-93, 70 mills in 95-96 and 78 mills in 99-2000. The climate of sindh is
more suitable for the crop then that of Punjab because sucrose proportion in sindh sugar can is
higher than of Punjab the same is the reason due to which the new sugar plants re being setup in
sindh.
Cane Crushing
40% to 50% of total quantity of Sugar cane is made available to the sugar mills for crushing
purposes while 5% is used as is used as cattle feed and remaining 55% is utilized for making desi
sugar and gur.
Demand
As the urbanization is increasing the people are using more sugar. The rural population is also
switching over from Desi Sugar or gur to defined sugar more over the demand for sugar has also
increased in Pakistan due to the development of pharmaceutical Industry because it is used as
one of the most important the demsnd for sugar is more than its production therefore sugar is
imported to fill the negative gap between demand and supply if this negative gap is not filled a
substantial amount of foreign exchange will have to be consumed on sugar import.

Solutions
1. Increase the yield of Sugar cane

2. More mulls should be established

3. De zoning of sugar mills.

According to this system of zoning the sugar cane growers were bound to sell
their sugar cane only to the sugermills of their own areas now all the growers are free to
sell to those mills which could pay them reasonable and beter prices wheather the mills
are situated in their own areas or not.
Iron and Steel Industry
The people of Pakistan started hoping and dreaming of their own steel mill in the early 1950s
1. We lack natural resources.

2. We lack infrastructure, trained men power and managerial talent to manage a steel
complete.

3. Steel is abundant in the world and can be imported.

4. We are agricultural country and should concentrate on development of agriculture only.

The Pakistan Steel Mill Corporation

The Pakistan Steel mill Corporations with technical and financial assistance from
the USSR, was established on December 30, 1973 at Pipri. It is located about 40km east of
Karachi on Gharo Greek near Port Qasim. The raw materials for steel mill are iron are
manganese and closing coal and area imported from foreign countries Iran are is in posted from
