A solar plant with up to 1GW capacity is expected to be completed by the end of Phase 3, ensuring sustainable energy for the project.

A pilot project launched in May 2024 introduced 50 electric buses under a rent-to-own model. The Sindh Mass Transit Authority has also approved a contract with the National Energy & Transport Corporation for 100 additional buses.
