KARACHI: K-Electric Limited has obtained interim relief from the Sindh High Court after challenging a recent decision by the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA), marking the latest development in the utility’s ongoing legal battle over regulatory determinations it claims are detrimental to its operations.
The company confirmed that it has filed an appeal before the NEPRA Appellate Tribunal under Section 12-G of the NEPRA Act, 1997, contesting NEPRA’s order issued on October 20, 2025. This appeal follows KE’s earlier notification on October 21, in which it formally disclosed its intention to challenge the regulator’s decision.
Given that the NEPRA Appellate Tribunal is currently non-functional, K-Electric simultaneously approached the Sindh High Court through four constitutional petitions, seeking immediate judicial protection.
The court subsequently issued an interim order restraining NEPRA from taking any coercive measures against the company “in terms of the impugned decision” until further proceedings. The ruling temporarily shields K-Electric from enforcement actions or penalties arising from the disputed regulatory order.
K-Electric stated that it remains committed to pursuing all available legal and regulatory avenues as the matter advances through the appellate and judicial process.
