This non-exclusive license renewal follows KE&#8217;s request for a non-exclusive license ahead of the liberalization of the power sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KE&#8217;s previous 20-year license had reached its term in July 2023. Subsequently, NEPRA had provided KE with an interim distribution license for six months, which was nearing its expiration in January 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision for renewal followed a comprehensive hearing that concluded on 28 November 2023. Post-hearing, NEPRA has now authorized K-Electric to continue its power supply operations in Karachi, Uthal, Bela, Vinder, Hub, Dhabeji, and Gharo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>ABOUT K-ELECTRIC:<\/em><br>K-Electric (KE) is a public listed company incorporated in Pakistan in 1913 as KESC.
