KARACHI: K-Electric (KE) added a sanctioned load of nearly 140MW through 339 new industrial connections during 2025 as Pakistan moved towards economic stabilisation amid the ongoing IMF programme.
“These connections supported sectors including manufacturing, textiles, FMCG, ports, and export-oriented industries, reinforcing Karachi’s role as Pakistan’s economic engine,” KE said in a statement.
Years of inflation and high power tariffs had stalled Pakistan’s economic engines. However, during 2025, analysts say some economic stability returned as inflation eased and interest rates settled.
The Pakistan Stock Exchange’s (PSX) benchmark KSE-100 Index is trading near record highs, and the economy grew by 3.71 percent in the first quarter (July-September) of the current fiscal year, a sizable increase from 1.56 percent recorded in the same period last year. The year-on-year quarterly growth was mainly driven by a 9 percent.
