Pakistan has approved the Machike-Thallian-Tarru Jabba White Oil Pipeline, clearing the final major obstacle to a project that will complete a strategic fuel transportation corridor from Karachi to Peshawar and reinforce the country’s energy supply chain.

Stretching 435 kilometers, the pipeline moved forward with the facilitation of the Special Investment Facilitation Council, which played a central role in coordinating among stakeholders, resolving pending issues and helping secure the approvals required for the project.

Once completed, the pipeline will provide a key south-to-north route for the transportation of white oil products across Pakistan, improving fuel movement to northern regions while reducing reliance on road transport.

Officials say the project is expected to improve fuel supply efficiency, lower transportation costs, reduce transit losses and strengthen the reliability of the national energy distribution network.

The pipeline has remained on the SIFC’s priority list, with a memorandum of understanding signed through its platform, underscoring the government’s broader push to attract investment and encourage international collaboration in the energy sector.

In addition to improving fuel logistics, the project is expected to generate employment, modernize energy infrastructure and strengthen investor confidence by signaling official support for large-scale strategic investments.

The approval represents a major step toward completing a continuous fuel corridor linking Karachi with northwestern markets, as Pakistan looks to improve energy security and reduce risks in its supply chain.
