Karachi, January 30, 2025: K-Electric (KE) CEO Moonis Alvi met with the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) private sector operations team, led by Deputy Director General Cathy Marsh, to explore areas of mutual cooperation and investment in Karachi’s power sector.

The engagement reinforced KE’s commitment to sustainable growth and ensuring a reliable power supply for Karachi.
