Sub-divisions

Infrastructure

Saudi German Hospital Group is constructing a 300-bed hospital on a 12-acre site for a cost of $300 million.

On October 5, 2016, K-Electric and Bahria announced plans to set up a plant for construction of a 600MW energy plant exclusively for Bahria Town Karachi.

On September 1, 2016, China Railway Construction Corporation Limited and Bahria Town Group signed agreement for construction on Blue Line of Karachi Metrobus which will connect the town with downtown Karachi.

2016

On 1 August 2016, Supreme Court, the top court of Pakistan ordered Bahria Town Karachi and Malir Development Authority (MDA) to halt the construction work at 5,786 acres of land with an immediate effect. In an interim order, the apex court has ruled the land was illegally allotted to Bahria Town by the development authority.

The court also directed National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to complete its investigations and submit a report within two months. It also restrained the Sindh government from allotting any further land to Bahria Town.

2015

Pakistan Rangers claimed in a meeting that Bahria Town has been allotted 44,000 acres from Sindh government. While the amount of land in records is less than 44,000 acres.

Bahria Town officials rejected the claim and report. One of the official said that the land has been purchased from local.
