According to news sources, the GHQ said the SPR should be used because the country needs to grow more on its coast and diversify its oil sources. People in Karachi, Hub and Mehmood Kot could also get 2 million tons of SPR. The Hub facility will be able to store 1 million tons, with 0.7 million tons in Karachi and 0.3 million metric tons in Mehmood Kot.
