INDUSTRIAL CRISIS HITS BALOCHISTAN: P&G Hub Shutdown Sparks Alarm Over Investor Confidence
Chehra WebDesk
The Balochistan Economic Forum expresses its deep concern over the winding up of Procter & Gamble Pakistan’s manufacturing operations. Most disturbing has been the closure of its soap manufacturing facility at Hub, Balochistan, which for decades remained a symbol of international investment and industrial activity in the province.
The Hub plant not only provided direct employment but also generated thousands of indirect jobs through distribution and supply networks, while contributing significantly to national revenue. Its closure is a major setback for industrial growth, skill development, and investor confidence in Balochistan.
The Forum urges the government and stakeholders to take immediate steps to safeguard industrial investments, restore confidence of multinational companies, and ensure that Balochistan continues to play its rightful role in Pakistan’s economic future.
