“The Korangi Industrial Area has become a vital hub for the country’s manufacturing and export industries, the CM said. He added that KATI has been actively involved in various initiatives aimed at improving the industrial and business environment of the Korangi Industrial Area (KIA).

Regarding infrastructure development, the CM mentioned that his government has been working on upgrading the road network and drainage systems within the Korangi Industrial Zone.
