In his speech he said today we are officially Inaugurating the Made in Pakistan Movement. Promotion of our local products was always in our mind but the work that was supposed to be done in last 75 years was never initiated properly and the awareness that should have been provided to the nation was never given so through this movement awareness will be provided to the public not only in Pakistan but globally to buy, Made in Pakistan products. Mr. Zubair Motiwala CEO TDAP showed his concerns over the shortage of gas, electricity and water which has badly affected the exports and industries of Pakistan. The huge amount of electricity cost has also created a disturbing situation for the local manufacturers and general public. Therefore Govt. help and support is required for the export sector and for better productions and the products that we are importing can also be Made in Pakistan.
