Faisal Moiz Khan, President of the North Karachi Association of Trade & Industry (NKATI), has slammed the caretaker government’s decision to significantly raise gas tariffs, calling it a catastrophic move for the industrial sector and a grave risk to the national economy.

Highlighting the severe challenges faced by the industrial sector due to the continuous rise in utility costs, Khan pointed out that the high costs of electricity and gas have made it difficult for businesses to operate, especially affecting exporters by making them less competitive internationally. He stressed that this situation threatens the existence of SMEs and the overall export performance.
