00:00We are talking about IPPs.
00:02Mr. Ashish, tell me, all these contradictions that we have discussed,
00:06how we will have to open the book of law,
00:09how we will have to approach government to government,
00:11the G2G contracts, that is in its place.
00:14But this is also a very interesting fact that
00:17the majority, more than 50%, around 70-80%,
00:21Mr. Goharia is saying 80%,
00:23this is all owned by Pakistanis.
00:25If that is a reality,
00:29then this makes our problem very easy.
00:31Because then, of course,
00:33the government-to-government, state-to-state sensitivity does not come into it.
00:36And many other things.
00:37Or if it is owned by the government,
00:39then that makes the case even easier and simple.
00:42Look, I have told you that this is G2G,
00:45we do not have to renegotiate anything in it.
00:47We will continue to pay the principal and installments of the plant.
00:52And when they need it, we will run it.
00:56Now they have been converted into an IPP model,
00:59that even if they do not run,
01:01we will have to eliminate their profit, profit, their fake structure.
01:05So we can do that domestically as a government.
01:09For that, we do not need to negotiate with anyone,
01:11we do not need to go to anyone.
01:13In other private sectors, it will definitely happen
01:16that all these things will have to be looked at,
01:19that how did this happen, why did this happen.
01:21What they have said 80% is in reference to CPEC,
01:23but only 20% are Chinese-owned IPPs.
01:27Apart from that, it is either the government of Pakistan
01:29or the government of the Pakistani people.
01:32Okay, and this is so much noise,
01:35let the public know,
01:37so tell me, when did all this happen?
01:39Because there is also a debate on this,
01:41that the government of Noon League,
01:44Mr. Razaq Daud did it, Mr. Khan did it,
01:46when did this happen, what happened?
01:48The major contract is 30,000,
01:50which is a historic fact,
01:52there is no politics in this,
01:54I am just asking, when did this happen?
01:5730,000 MW is between 13,000 and 18,000 MW.
02:0030,000 MW.
02:03Sir, you are saying,
02:05I am sorry, you did not understand,
02:07you are saying that the majority of the contracts
02:09were in the Noon League government.
02:1130,000 MW happened between 13,000 and 18,000 MW.
02:13In which these coal companies,
02:15Run of Hydel,
02:17and I think this is about 10,000 MW of coal,
02:19and the RNG plant came at the same time,
02:21and this is not such an expensive plant,
02:23this is a plant of 500 million dollars,
02:25if you make it stand-by,
02:27it will not cost as much as IPP.
02:29Sir, a counter question arises in this,
02:32in a very obvious mind,
02:34if this matter is so simple,
02:36then why did this happen at first place?
02:39What do you think about it?
02:41This is not in this,
02:43it was also mentioned in the newspapers,
02:45that they were planning to make all these plants
02:47an IPP model and distribute it.
02:49We said that we will make it an IPP model,
02:51and if it is a plant of 500 million dollars,
02:53then in 2 billion dollars,
02:55or in how many billions of dollars,
02:57this plant will be sold,
02:59because there will be an agreement
03:01of take and pay with it.
03:03Then the economic and everything
03:05started to deteriorate,
03:07then no investor came.
03:09So that model stood in its place,
03:11but it was basically restructured to sell.
03:13And we also requested at that time
03:15that you do not do this,
03:17and industrial consumption will be reduced.
03:19And as far as the grid is concerned,
03:21of 22,000,
03:23we also worked with the government,
03:25we want to take it in a positive direction.
03:27And among other IPPs,
03:29many people are positive,
03:31who are ready to give a discount.
03:33It is not like that,
03:35we also talk to people,
03:37they say that it is the problem of the country,
03:39we are going to do it,
03:41it is an exorbitant return,
03:43it was a mistake,
03:45the seller sold it wrong,
03:47the buyer took it wrong,
03:49and the punishment is 25 crores.
03:51This is unfair.
