NHA tells National Assembly committee that construction on three sections of the 306-kilometre motorway is expected to start by January.

Construction work on three sections of the Sukkur–Hyderabad M-6 Motorway is expected to begin by January 2027, the National Highway Authority (NHA) has informed the National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Communications.

NHA Chief Executive Officer Ali Sher Mehsud told the committee that works on Sections III, IV and V would commence by January. The update was shared during a meeting chaired by MNA Aijaz Hussain Jakhrani.

The committee directed the NHA to appoint the motorway’s General Manager or Project Director in Sindh instead of Islamabad. It said the move would help improve project supervision, coordination and timely execution.

The M-6 is a major road project planned to connect Sukkur and Hyderabad. The 306-kilometre motorway is expected to improve travel and transport links in Sindh and strengthen connectivity between major parts of the country.

The January 2027 start is the latest timeline shared with the committee. The project’s progress will depend on the next steps taken by the NHA.
