June 10, 2025 (MLN): In a strategic move to address climate change and transition towards sustainable energy, the federal government has allocated Rs67.2 billion for clean, renewable, and hydropower projects in the Budget 2025–26.

The Finance Minister announced that a significant portion of this allocation will be directed towards renewable energy initiatives, including Rs20bn for the 2,160 MW Dasu Hydropower Project Phase-1 and Rs35.7bn for the Mohmand Hydropower Project.

Additionally, Rs3bn will be designated for five hydropower schemes in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan.
