Establishment of Model Fish Market, Lahore

The current Lahore fish market faces significant challenges due to outdated practices, poor hygiene, and inadequate facilities. To address these issues, a state-of-the-art Model Fish Market is proposed on a 12.90-acre site at Kanha-Kacha Road, just 3 km from the Ring Road Interchange. This modern facility will transform fish trading by improving sanitation, fish handling, and operational efficiency.

The market will include an auction/wholesale section, retail shops, offices for traders, aqua business shops, a food court, and a mosque. Advanced features include automatic and manual sorting/grading systems, an ice factory, cold storage with blast freezers, and a digital price display system. Other amenities will ensure proper hygiene management, such as quality control offices, drainage systems, parking for 500 vehicles, and vehicle weighing stations.

Area Summary:

• Retail Building: 212,221 sq. ft. 
• Auction Hall: 74,220 sq. ft. 
• Sorting & Grading Hall: 30,711 sq. ft. 
• Cold Storage: 19,935 sq. ft. 
• Ice Factory: 22,500 sq. ft. 
• Aqua Business Shops & Mosque: 7,497 sq. ft.

This project aims to elevate fish market standards in Lahore by adopting international best practices for fish trading and hygiene management.
