KARACHI: A productive and forward looking meeting was held in the office of Hamayon Khan, Additional Secretary & Managing Director, NEECA, with Malik Khuda Bakhsh, CEO, Malik Group of Companies, to address critical challenges delaying the nationwide rollout of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging Stations.
The discussion centred on procedural bottlenecks, including delays in electricity connections, prolonged separate meter installations, and NOC approvals from relevant Discos and Oil Marketing Companies-despite the issuance of 13 NEECA licenses and the arrival of 5 EV charging units at designated sites.
Malik shared the approved roadmap for installing 3,000 EV Charging Stations across Pakistan. In response, Humayon Khan assured full institutional support and expressed strong commitment to scaling the initiative to increase 6,000 EV charging Stations nationwide. The meeting also covered key aspects of EV charger imports, including customs duties, regulatory documentation and inter-agency coordination.
