 Major Industries Of Pakistan

 Cement
 Textile
 Sports
 Sugar
 Cement Industry

 At present 24 cement factories are operating in the

country, out of these 4 factories are in public sector and
20 are in private sector.
 The installed capacity of cement is 16,300 thousand tons
out of which 9935 thousand tons of cement was produced
in 2001-02. This industry has been allowed duty free
import of plant and machinery.
 Textile Industry

 The textile industry is the largest industry of Pakistan. At the time of

partition, Pakistan received only 17 textile units in its share. The production
of textile was very low and a large quantity of textile had to be imported to
meet the domestic, requirements. Now, Pakistan is a prominent country for
the production of textile.
 The textile industry accounts for 17.3% of value added, 32.2% of industrial
employment and 60% of total exports. There were 354 mills operating in the
textile industry in 2001-02. The installed capacity of spindles was 8841
thousand and installed capacity of looms was 10 thousand in the same year.
 The production of cloth was 558 million square meters by the organized mills
sector. Various steps have been taken by the Government for the growth of
the textile industry e.g. the provision of incentives, freedom to acquire
technical assistance from abroad and directly financing institutions.
 Sugar Industry

 In 1947, there were only 2 sugar factories in Pakistan, but at

present there are 77 sugar factories in the industry. During the
year 2001-02 total production of sugar was 3247 thousand
tones.
 Revolutionary steps are required to expand the working
capacity of this industry, which must be expanded and facilities
should be provided to farmers for the production of better
crops.
