Pakistan
INDUSTRY
In 1947 only some
5 percent of the large-scale industrial facilities in British
India were located in what became Pakistan. The country started
with virtually no industrial base and no institutional, financial,
or energy resources. Three small hydroelectric power stations
provided limited electricity to a few urban areas. Firewood and
dung were the main sources of energy; commercial energy sources
supplied only about 30 percent of the energy consumed. Further,
there was a shortage of management personnel and skilled labor.
