KARACHI: K-Electric Limited, in collaboration with Nutshell Group, jointly hosted a National Policy Dialogue on Localisation for growth at a local hotel in Karachi. The dialogue addressed the urgent need to explore options for indigenisation and sourcing materials from local avenues for Pakistan to build a resilient economy, according to KE statement on Monday.
Pakistan’s reliance on imported fuels for its energy needs tends to pose a hurdle for consistent economic growth against commodity shocks. Founder and CEO, Nutshell Group, Muhammad Azfar Ahsan, welcomed the guests and reiterated the dire need for Pakistan to prioritize work on the Charter of Business to enable local businesses to enhance impact through local empowerment.
The dialogue was well attended by the public, private stakeholders and government figures including Senator Dr. Musadik Malik, Minister of State, Ministry of Energy, Mr. Khurram Dastagir Federal Minister for Power, Governor Sindh Kamran Tessori, representing the Government and elaborating on public initiatives.
