Hunan Resources resumes Dhabeji factory operations after seven-month closure

Hunan Resources SMC (Private) Limited has restarted its industrial facility in Dhabeji, Sindh, after the plant had stood idle since February. Business Recorder reported that the reopening followed intervention by the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC). The company set out its position in a letter dated September 15, addressed to the council.

According to the letter, the factory's closure caused considerable financial losses and disrupted the firm's investment and business plans, and the matter stayed unsettled for a long period despite repeated efforts. The company did not disclose what the underlying problem was.

Hunan Resources thanked the SIFC for its coordination and said the support had protected its investment while strengthening its confidence in continuing business in Pakistan. The council, in its own statement, described the reopening as evidence of coordinated facilitation aimed at investor concerns and continuity of industrial output. It said it remains committed to protecting investor interests and sustaining industrial growth in the country.
