Eidul Fitr likely to be observed on March 31 in Pakistan
The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, along with zonal committees, will meet on Sunday evening, March 30, 2025 (Ramazan 29, 1446 A.H.), to sight the Shawwal moon, which will determine the end of Ramadan and the date for Eidul Fitr celebrations in Pakistan.
The main meeting will be held at the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony, where religious scholars, meteorological experts, and other stakeholders will review moon sighting reports from across the country.
Last month, the Pakistan Space & Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco) used scientific assessments, astronomical calculations, and modern observational data to forecast the visibility of the Ramadan and Shawwal crescents.
According to astronomical models, the Shawwal moon is expected to be visible on March 30, indicating that Eidul Fitr will likely fall on March 31, 2025. However, the final decision will be made after the committee examines testimonies, as unaided-eye moon sighting remains a religious requirement in Pakistan.

Remote sensing satellite launch on 31st
Pakistan will launch a remote sensing satellite on July 31, 2025 from China's Xichang Satellite Launch Center (XSLC), announced the Pakistan Space & Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco) spokesperson on Sunday. This launch marks a significant milestone in Pakistan's space programme, enhancing its earth observation capabilities, the spokesperson added. The satellite will support a wide range of national applications, including precision agriculture to boost crop yields. It will also monitor infrastructure development and urban expansion and enable regional planning. It will also strengthen disaster management efforts by providing early warnings for floods, landslides and earthquakes, while monitoring glacier melt and deforestation. The satellite will aid in mapping transportation networks and identifying geohazards, thereby supporting national development initiatives like the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project. Its data-gathering capabilities across diverse environmental conditions make it a vital asset for environmental monitoring and resource management. This launch, along with the integration of existing remote sensing satellites - PRSS-1 (launched in July 2018) and EO-1 (launched in January 2025) - will further strengthen Pakistan's space-based infrastructure. The initiative aligns with the National Space Policy and Suparco Vision 2047, aiming to position the country at the forefront of space technology and innovation, the spokesperson said.

Experts seek policy for solar manufacturing base
Listen to article Experts at a high-level consultative session stressed that Pakistan must urgently develop a comprehensive policy framework to strengthen its domestic solar manufacturing ecosystem amid rising energy demands and growing reliance on imports. The session was hosted by the US-Pakistan Centre for Advanced Studies in Energy (USPCAS-E) at NUST. The event marked the launch of a study titled "Crafting a Sustainable Business Model to Drive Indigenous Solar PV Panels Manufacturing in Pakistan," presented by Dr Nadia Shahzad, Associate Professor at NUST. The study provides a roadmap for establishing a 100MW solar PV panel manufacturing plant in Pakistan, with scalability up to 1.0GW. Developed through site visits and stakeholder consultations, the model is seen as a practical starting point for local production. Welcoming the participants, Dr Adeel Waqas, Dean and Principal at USPCAS-E, underscored the need for a self-reliant solar manufacturing sector to meet the country's energy needs and reduce import dependency. The session brought together policymakers, academics, and industry leaders, all echoing the urgency to build a strong domestic solar base. Maud Osman Mohammad of LONGi Solar praised the study's clarity and urged aligning policy with market realities. Similarly, Muhammad Basit Ghauri from Renewables First noted that battery imports exceeding Rs90 billion in just three months reflect the market's potential. He emphasised the need for data-driven planning and integration of storage solutions behind the grid. Dr Omais Abdur Rehman supported a role for the Engineering Development Board, while Dr Noor ul Huda Khan of BUITEMS advocated for alignment with next-gen solar technologies such as Perovskite modules. On the technological front, Sohaib Asif Sipra, CEO of SkyElectric, warned that nearly half of Pakistan's solar installations remain informal, risking quality and safety standards. He called for the formation of a dedicated think tank to drive standardisation and innovation in battery and inverter manufacturing. Representing local battery production, Mansoor Jamil Khan of Atlas Battery highlighted their joint venture with Japan's GS Yuasa and advocated for lithium-ion safety protocols alongside continued dominance of lead-acid batteries. Policy-level recommendations were reinforced by M Umer Khan of the Private Power and Infrastructure Board (PPIB), who proposed targeted subsidies and strategic import duties to promote indigenous manufacturing. Hasnat Khan of the Pakistan Solar Association detailed their training and certification drive in partnership with institutions like TEVTA, NUTECH, and PPIB to ensure quality assurance in solar installations. Concluding the event, Dr Majid Ali, Associate Professor at NUST, reaffirmed the university's commitment to advancing indigenous solar manufacturing and called for ongoing collaboration among academia, industry, and government. The session served as a powerful reminder of the need for cohesive action and strategic investment to transform Pakistan into a hub of solar innovation and manufacturing.
