Industrial development in Pakistan
The Heavy Mechanical Complex was established in 1968 in Taxila, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province in collaboration with China.  Machinery, trucks, and spare parts for the railway engine, sugar, cement, textile and fertilizer factories are manufactured here.  Imports of steel and machinery have fallen sharply since the Taxila complex began operations.  In addition, a variety of machinery and additional tools do not have to be imported and the treasury is saved.
