Powering Karachi

K-Electric would like to inform the readers that through continued investment in the power infrastructure of Karachi, over 61 percent of the city, including all industrial zones and strategic installations, has been made loadshedding free. Over the years, the power company has taken various measures to streamline its distribution network. It has also installed aerial bundled cables (ABCs) in different parts of the city to control power theft. Areas post-ABC conversion have shown tremendous progress and experienced noticeable improvement in power supply.
