In a notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Monday, THCCL described the agreement as a strategic milestone aimed at boosting local industrial growth and facilitating technology transfer in the province.
Under the agreement, Minsk Tractor Works has granted MWTA exclusive rights to assemble Belarus tractors in Balochistan. The collaboration represents a significant breakthrough for Pakistan’s agricultural and industrial sectors, which are increasingly turning toward mechanisation to enhance productivity and crop yields.
