KE Background and History
K-Electric is an electricity distribution company based in Karachi, Pakistan. The company was formed in 1913 during the British era and was named Karachi Electric Supply Company(KESC). The main purpose of the company was to supply electricity to Karachi, which was a small port city at that time, now with a population of about 20.3 million. It was a government entity, but was later privatised in 2005 and changed its name to K-Electric in 2014.
K-Electric is providing electricity to a vast area of about 6500 sq km, including Karachi, Uthal, Bela, Vinder, Gharo, Hub, and Dhabeji areas of Sindh and Balochistan province. Karachi Electric has almost 3.7 million customers and provides services to homes, shops, offices, and industries. The current CEO is Syed Muhammad Taha, who took charge on April 15, 2026.

| April to October | 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM | Remaining 20 hours |
