DP World<\/strong>\u2019s road freight JV in Pakistan is advancing:<\/strong> UAE\u2019s DP World got the green light to form its new joint venture with Pakistan\u2019s state-owned National Logistics Corporation (NLC<\/a>) after the Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP)<\/a> approved a pre-merger application for the JV initiative, according to a statement<\/a>. The JV will focus on road freight logistics, but no details on specific projects or investments were made. <\/p>\n

The breakdown<\/strong>: The NLC will hold a majority 60% share in the JV, while DP World will get the remaining 40% stake. <\/p>\n

Not the first we\u2019ve heard:<\/strong> Pakistan\u2019s National Logistics Corporation (NLC) launched a multimodal logistics route \u2014 named the Transports Internationalaux Routiers \u2014 linking the UAE to China<\/a> via northern Pakistan\u2019s Khunjerab Pass in December. The route will see the NLC deploy trucks to connect Kashgar, China, to Pakistan\u2019s Karachi, and shipping services operated by DP World linking Karachi Port and Jebel Ali Port. <\/p>\n

DP World\u2019s got its eye on Pakistan:<\/strong> The logistics giant inked a term sheet with Pakistan\u2019s Special investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) for the development of a 50 km rail-based freight corridor linking Karachi Port to the Pipri Marshalling Yard in January<\/a>. <\/p>\n

UAE <\/strong>logistics <\/strong>players are flocking to Pakistan: <\/strong>2025 has seen several UAE players ink investment agreements in Pakistan\u2019s rail, freezones, and other logistics-related sectors. In March, UAE\u2019s International Freezones Authority signed an MoU<\/a> to invest in Pakistan\u2019s special economic zones, and AD Ports inked several agreements<\/a> to develop an industrial zone near Karachi Port and Qasim Port and cooperate in maritime services and freight forwarding. UAE\u2019s Etihad Rail is also exploring possible rail developments<\/a> in the country.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER-<\/strong> The government of Dubai signed two investment framework agreements<\/a> with Pakistan to cooperate on railways, economic zones, and infrastructure a year ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
