About Sindh
The historic heart of the Indus civilization and a modern economic hub of Pakistan
Economic and Investment Profile
Sindh—the harbinger of the Indus civilization—has evolved into one of Pakistan's principal economic hubs. Its historic legacy is complemented by a strong industrial base, developed infrastructure, two international ports and established financial institutions.
Together, these strengths provide substantial opportunities for local and foreign investors seeking access to industry, logistics, finance, trade and regional markets.
Coastline and Marine Resources
Sindh has approximately 350 kilometres of coastline, supported by extensive mangrove forests and a diverse marine ecosystem. The province accounts for approximately 48% of Pakistan's fish exports.
It is also home to an estimated 71% of the country's marine-fish resources, 65% of its freshwater-fish resources and 100% of its brackish-water fish resources, giving Sindh a strategic position in fisheries, aquaculture and seafood processing.
Regional Powerhouse of the Future
Thar is estimated to contain one of the world's largest coal deposits, with reserves of approximately 185 billion tonnes. Sindh also hosts around 60% of Pakistan's oil fields and 44% of its gas fields.
The province contributes approximately 56% of Pakistan's daily oil production and 55% of its daily gas production. Alongside conventional energy resources, Sindh has significant renewable-energy potential through a wind corridor approximately 60 kilometres wide and 180 kilometres deep.
Trade & Connectivity
International ports, industrial infrastructure and financial institutions connect Sindh with national and global markets.
