00:00One thing out of a hundred is that no matter where political activity goes, people still have their political views, which they should have.
00:06But one thing out of a hundred is that people say that all that is fine, but let's do something about this inflation.
00:12Otherwise, if we survive, then no political views will survive and everything will be fine.
00:15And the latest issue in that, and the issue that is about to set fire,
00:19about which the worst thing is that even in the days to come, there is no good news,
00:23but it seems that the bills that are yet to come, there will be further destruction.
00:26I am talking about electricity bills.
00:28It is astonishing that people are saying that Bhaijaan does not pay his salary,
00:33but his 70%, 80%, 100%, 50% is going into electricity bills and has suddenly increased.
00:38And then people also need answers to these questions that it is fine,
00:41there are some things in inflation that are not in the hands of the government,
00:44but even in the whole region, our electricity has become the most expensive.
00:48So what is the meaning of this?
00:50And how far have things gone?
00:53Electricity bill is Rs. 60, commercial bill is Rs. 80, industry bill is Rs. 38-40.
01:00So what has happened?
01:02Now, when there is a discussion in this, then one argument comes that the agreement
01:07with the independent power producers is such that the government has to give some money
01:12in the form of capacity payment.
01:15If we simplify this a lot, then this is that this power producer,
01:19whose government has made an agreement with Pakistan,
01:22if he can generate 100 MW of electricity, then he should not generate 100,
01:27he should generate 5 MW.
01:29He has to get money for 100 only.
01:31And I have oversimplified this a lot.
01:33This goes up to thousands of rupees.
01:35This has gone up to 2,100 billion rupees this year.
01:39And what happens because of this?
01:41Because of this, the government has to pay more money.
01:43When you have to pay more money, what does the government do?
01:45It does not pay from its own pocket, nor does it grow trees.
01:47Then it increases my and your electricity bill.
01:49And we give a more expensive unit.
01:51So now, can this be done?
01:53IPP, which is such a big money in the name of capacity payment,
01:57from which we are taking 5 MW, although it can give 100 MW,
02:00but we are taking 5 MW because of our own reasons, because of whatever reason,
02:04but we are paying as much as 100 MW.
02:06So can this be done?
02:08Can't it be done?
02:09A lot is being talked about this time.
02:10A lot of people have talked about it.
02:12Even today, there are questions.
02:14It is wrong on so many levels.
02:16Today, a lot of people have done a press conference on this.
02:18For example, if there is a textile, its export is very high.
02:20Now what is happening?
02:21If their cost has increased due to electricity,
02:23then one cloth, again oversimplify it,
02:25which cost them 100 rupees, it cost them 150 rupees.
02:28So if I am a buyer,
02:30then why should I buy so expensive?
02:32Then I will buy from Vietnam, I will buy from Cambodia.
02:34Then your export market will be down.
02:36So there is a problem on so many levels
02:38because of this one particular issue.
02:40Can we do something about it?
02:42Or can we just regret it?
02:44In today's press conference,
02:46Mr. Asif Inam, the chairman of Aptimarket,
02:48was with us.
02:50Sir, thank you very much for your time.
02:52Mr. Asif, I was talking to him during the break.
02:54I was talking to him that if we can keep it easy,
02:56then tell us,
02:58can we do something about it or not?
03:00It is right that we heard that
03:02even Mr. Gaur Ejaz was saying
03:04that we should renegotiate the agreement.
03:06Now if I am an IPP,
03:08then I can say that I did not make an agreement
03:10on a gun point.
03:12I did not make an agreement on a gun point
03:14with you or any other individual.
03:16I made an agreement with the government of that time.
03:18So it is not a child's play
03:20that one fine day you realize
03:22that the agreement was not good.
03:24Let's renegotiate it.
03:26We are not doing it.
03:28This is a matter of international investors.
03:30Is it so simple or not?
03:32Can this problem be solved or not?
03:34In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful.
03:36This is very simple.
03:38The reason for this is that
03:40it will be seen that
03:42it is at a double price from our sector.
03:44The thing that India has made
03:46for 4 cents electricity,
03:48we have it for 8 cents.
03:50The coal plant we have
03:52is for 5.6 cents in Bangladesh.
03:54Now I cannot hear.
03:56So all these things
03:58were brought to you
04:00in addition.
04:02Any contract of the world
04:04will be brought to you
04:06by the government of the world.
04:08They did not do it at gunpoint.
04:10We also did not do it at gunpoint.
04:12We have a system of 22,000.
04:14Whatever load shedding we had,
04:16it was all within 22,000.
04:18More than 22,000,
04:20we did not have the ability to do it.
04:22So 22,000 to 45,000
04:24were not sold by force.
04:26Someone came and sold it.
04:28And sold it by force.
04:30Now what he used, he will tell.
04:32What is it?
04:34He took 42,000 to 45,000.
04:36And now it is 10,000 to 15,000 more.
04:38This year, our capacity
04:40payment is 2.1 trillion.
04:42And at the end of this year,
04:44it will be 2.8 trillion.
04:46Then our other consumption,
04:48due to the increase in electricity rate,
04:50unemployment is also decreasing.
04:52Consumption from June to June
04:54is minus 18.
04:56From June 23rd to June 24th.
04:58And the consumption of May
05:00is less than
05:02December 22nd.
05:04Now we can imagine.
05:34When our country's system itself is 22,000,
05:36it is illogical
05:38to sell or buy 45,000.
05:40Unless something
05:42has not gone wrong.
05:44Now I understand.
05:46Your tank is 45 liters.
05:48Now someone comes to you and says
05:50I have got 100 liters in it.
05:52Will you believe him?
05:54Now the petrol pump guy says
05:56I have nothing to do with it.
05:58I have put 100 liters in it.
06:00It fell on the ground.
06:02What is your demand?
06:06You explained it
06:08in the context of a common man.
06:10On paper or legally,
06:12we have a homework
06:14that if we complete this case in this way,
06:16then these agreements can be renegotiated.
06:18And as a result,
06:20the government of Pakistan
06:22may have to pay less money.
06:24As a result, the burden of electricity
06:26can be reduced.
06:28Is this exactly homework?
06:30We have requested for a forensic audit.
06:32Everything will be revealed
06:34in the forensic audit.
06:36Today, we are taking such plant
06:38fish charges that there is no line
06:40up to 200 km.
06:42The capacity payment is going to them.
06:44We will find out why it happened.
06:46There must be some reason
06:48that a million rupee plant
06:50fell on the ground.
06:52In the forensic audit,
06:54many other things will be revealed.
06:56When it happens,
06:58you will be surprised.
07:04The easiest thing
07:06is that about 52%
07:08of the plants
07:10that are on the IPP model
07:12are G2G of the government.
07:14The other government
07:16has given loans to our government.
07:18It is not on the IPP model.
07:20We have started billing it
07:22by making it a local IPP model.
07:24It is B2B,
07:26you can go for principal,
07:28interest payment,
07:30and some working charges.
07:3252% of your take and pay
07:34issue will be over.
07:36It will be on your minimum liability.
07:38It is not an expensive plant.
07:40I think it is a plant worth
07:42500 million dollars.
07:44Apart from that,
07:46all plants are worth
07:48500 million.
07:504-5 plants are worth 2 billion dollars.
07:522 billion dollars will be divided
07:54and your capacity payment
07:56will be very low.
07:58You can do whatever
08:00you want to do with the rest.
