ISLAMABAD:

The government is set to unveil its National Minerals Harmonisation Framework 2025 at the Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum 2025 (PMIF25), scheduled for April 8-9.

The framework aims to streamline mining regulations across provinces, ensuring a structured and investor-friendly mineral policy to attract both domestic and foreign investments said a news release.

The federal government, in collaboration with provinces, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), and Gilgit-Baltistan (GB), has devised the framework to create a uniform regulatory structure. It focuses on safety, environmental sustainability, and efficient resource extraction while fostering strategic international partnerships in the mining sector.

The framework has been developed through extensive consultation with key stakeholders to ensure inclusivity and effectiveness.

Provincial governments have played an active role in the process. Briefings have been provided to chief secretaries and chief ministers to keep them informed and involved in decision-making.

Their input has been essential in shaping the framework to align with regional needs and priorities.
