Very good!

Who is going to invest in these conditions

PM day babo. Only personal benefits here

O Bai, installing solar panels on top of your roof is not investing. Next you are going to call unclogging your drain as investment

Good move by current govt. Beneficial for Pakistan

Yeah right. Solar panels are only being imported by Salman Shahbaz. Just another way of making money for the Sharif family. Top level crooks….

We also need focus on agriculture and food safety and Lowee prices

What sort of article is this. Do your research first! Government has made duty free import on raw materials for Solar systems which does not help the home consumers. For one, there is no mention on the sales tax which is imposed on the import of these and secondly, home consumers looking for net metering will still need to use imported panels and inverters which does not fall into raw material since the requirement for net metering is that you need a tier 1 solar panels to be eligible to apply for net metering which none of the Pakistani companies have license for so either relax the net metering rules or stop feeding BS to people.
