Islamabad: The Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) has approved the Machike–Thallian–Tarru Jabba White Oil Pipeline, a major infrastructure project aimed at establishing a south-to-north corridor for the transportation of refined petroleum products across Pakistan.
According to SIFC, the pipeline will support the movement of white oil products, including petrol and diesel, through a dedicated pipeline network, reducing reliance on road-based fuel transportation.
The project is expected to improve the efficiency of the country’s fuel supply chain by lowering transportation costs and reducing fuel losses associated with conventional delivery methods.

SIFC said the pipeline will also contribute to strengthening energy security by ensuring a more reliable flow of petroleum products between regions.
In addition, the project is expected to create employment opportunities during both the construction and operational phases and support further investment in Pakistan’s energy infrastructure.
The approval forms part of SIFC’s ongoing efforts to facilitate strategic infrastructure projects and promote investment-driven economic development.
