K-Electric, formerly known as Karachi Electric Supply Company Limited and commonly referred
to as KE is a Pakistani vertically integrated electric corporation involved in generating,
transmitting and distributing power to around 20 million inhabitants of Karachi. It employs over
11,000 people and covers an area of 6,500 square kilometers with industrial, commercial,
agricultural and residential areas falling under its network.
K-Electric was incorporated on 13 September 1913, under the now repealed Indian Companies
Act, 1882 (currently Companies Ordinance, 1984). In 1952, the Government of Pakistan took
control of the Company by acquiring majority shareholding of KESC. In 2005, the Government
privatized K-Electric. In 2009, The Abraaj Capital, a leading private equity firm based in Dubai,
bought the power utility for a significant equity stake in the Company. Abraaj Group fully controls
KE via the holding company, KES Power Limited which holds 72.58% of its shares.
Revenue – PKR 190.358 billion (2014-15)
KE is the only vertically-integrated power utility in Pakistan. It produces electricity from its own
generation units with an installed capacity of 1827 MW. It also has power purchase agreements
for 1021 MW from various IPPs (Independent Power Producers).
So it is evident from the study of Ratio analysis that K-ELECTRIC gradually increased profit every year
until 2014 and then decline in some area in the last financial year of 2014-2015. Overall company
performance is improved.
