Parliamentary Panel Criticizes K-Electric Tariffs For Psm Township

On February 27, 2026, a parliamentary committee in Pakistan sharply criticized K-Electric for imposing commercial tariffs on employees living in the Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM) Township. The National Assembly Standing Committee on Industries and Production, chaired by Syed Hafeezuddin, directed K-Electric's CEO to appear at the next session to explain these 'unjustified' charges. The committee expressed dissatisfaction over the commercial tariffs and demanded a comprehensive report on the total amount collected from PSM employees thus far. The committee also raised concerns about ongoing theft at PSM, which has reportedly caused significant damage to the steel mills, and urged the Ministry of Industries and Production to take decisive action against these activities. "We went to the Steel Mills hospital and it felt like a scene from a movie," committee member Naz Baloch remarked, highlighting the dire state of the facility. The committee has extended the mandate of a sub-committee investigating PSM's theft and mismanagement for another month to ensure continued progress.
