The Karachi Chambers of Commerce and Industry called for the issuance of licenses to multiple companies during Nepra’s hearing regarding the renewal of K-Electric’s distribution license. They emphasized the need for licenses to be given to various companies in the big city of Karachi and requested the shutdown of KE plants generating expensive electricity. The chamber also highlighted the losses incurred by the company and the impact of expensive electricity on industries, while K-Electric officials claimed significant investments and improvements in service. Nepra had provisionally renewed K-Electric’s license for six months after its 20-year license expired, and a decision on the renewal will be announced later.
