In February 2014, the Asian Development Bank agreed to loan $900m to the government of Pakistan for a project to install 2 x 660MW supercritical coal-fired power plant at Jamshoro. [5] The Islamic Development Bank (IDB) approved $220m for the Jamshoro Coal Power generation project. The Asian Development Bank had already approved $900m for the project, whereas $380m was to be contributed by the government to meet the overall estimated project cost of $1.5 billion.

The new 2 x 660 MW units will be supercritical coal-fired power plants. Unit 5 of 660 MW will be using an 80/20 blend of imported sub-bituminous coal (80%) and domestic lignite (20%) from Thar coalfield. Unit 6 will be based on 100% domestic lignite. [6]
