K-Electric (KE) today has disconnected Pakistan Railways’ electricity meters for failing to clear outstanding dues of Rs. 430 million accumulated against 31 connections since May 2024, as it was unsustainable to continue electricity supply without any payments.
The distributor has disconnected all defaulting meters of the state-owned operator.
In line with regulatory policies, KE has previously served notices and disconnected defaulting connections on multiple occasions.
Supply has been restored on undertakings provided by railway authorities with the assurance of clearing outstanding dues and timely payment of monthly bills. However, despite accommodating Pakistan railways, these commitments have been dishonored time and again.
In such circumstances, KE will have no option but to disconnect defaulting connections indefinitely, until payments are received.
