PM allows import of duty-free solar panels
Necessary instructions have been given by FBR to all custom collectorates as well
ISLAMABAD:
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif allowed on Tuesday the country’s private sector to import duty-free solar system panels.
According to the PM House, after a report by the Alternative Energy Development Board regarding low manufacturing capacity of solar panels in Pakistan, and recommendations of a committee headed by Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, the premier has approved duty-free import of solar systems/panels by the private sector.
In this regard, the necessary instructions have been given by FBR to all custom collectorates as well.
This move is likely to help reduce the existing power load shedding in the country.
