In line with the clear directives of the Prime Minister of Pakistan, a high-level meeting was convened at the Ministry of Railways to discuss the transformation of Pakistan Railways into a modern, profitable, sustainable, and people-centric institution. The meeting was chaired by Federal Minister for Railways, Mr. Hanif Abbasi, and focused on the “Strategic Roadmap for the Modernization of Pakistan Railways.” During the meeting, it was decided to actively promote the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model to make Pakistan Railways a commercially viable and operationally efficient entity. Through this model, private sector participation will be encouraged to enable investment, foster commercial development, and improve infrastructure within the railways. As per the special instructions of the Prime Minister, a comprehensive plan was also reviewed to upgrade railway stations across the country in accordance with modern standards. The goal is to provide passengers with world-class travel facilities. Stations will be transformed into commercial hubs, integrating cleanliness, security, advanced technology, and enhanced services to make Pakistan Railways the preferred choice of commute for the public. Addressing the meeting, Federal Minister Hanif Abbasi stated that the revival of Pakistan Railways is not merely the development of an institution but a vital step toward strengthening the national economy. He emphasized that all projects must be rooted in public interest, transparency, and executed in alignment with the vision of the Prime Minister of Pakistan. This strategic roadmap lays the foundation for transforming Pakistan Railways into not only a modern entity but also a valuable national asset.
