LAHORE — Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) Chief Executive Officer Engr. Muhammad Ramzan Butt has pledged uninterrupted electricity supply to Pakistan’s textile sector. The commitment prioritizes export-oriented manufacturing units to support the country’s trade objectives.
Priority Power Supply for Export-Oriented Textile Units
The assurance from LESCO specifically targets textile mills focused on international markets. Export-oriented units will receive priority power distribution to maintain continuous production cycles.
This commitment was made during discussions with the All Pakistan Textile Mills Association. The pledge aims to eliminate electricity disruptions that have historically hampered manufacturing schedules.
Economic Impact on Pakistan’s Textile Industry
The textile sector remains Pakistan’s largest foreign exchange earner and a critical driver of industrial output. Stable electricity supply directly impacts the industry’s ability to meet international orders and delivery timelines.
Bolstering textile production through reliable power infrastructure is expected to increase export volumes. This initiative supports broader economic activity across Pakistan’s manufacturing base.
Power Distribution Strategy for Industrial Growth
LESCO’s commitment signals a strategic shift by power distribution companies toward stabilizing supply for high-priority industrial consumers. The focus on export-oriented industries reflects government priorities to strengthen trade performance.
Industrial output in the textile sector is directly tied to consistent electricity availability. The new supply guarantee aims to enhance Pakistan’s competitiveness in global textile markets.
