This capacity is projected to benefit approximately 2.2 million residents, addressing long-standing challenges related to water availability and quality in Karachi.
The agreement also marks the return of EIB Global financing in Pakistan after a gap of nearly a decade, signaling renewed international confidence in infrastructure development partnerships within the country.
Officials emphasized that the initiative represents a practical, long-term investment in public welfare, focusing on energy-efficient technology and sustainable water management systems designed to improve service delivery in urban areas.
