The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has issued a public notice seeking comments on the proposed transfer of licenses of Telenor Pakistan (Private) Limited to Pakistan Telecommunication Mobile Limited (PTML) and the subsequent amalgamation of the two entities.
Under the proposal, PTML will remain the surviving entity upon completion of the regulatory process.
According to the notice, PTA has received a formal application requesting approval for the transfer of Telenor Pakistan’s mobile cellular licenses to PTML.
Subject to regulatory approvals, Telenor Pakistan’s mobile licenses, operations, assets, liabilities, rights, and obligations in Pakistan, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan will be transferred and vested in PTML. Following the completion of the merger, Telenor Pakistan will cease to operate as a separate licensed entity.
The development follows the acquisition of Telenor Pakistan by Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL), which completed the 100 percent purchase on December 31, 2025. PTCL subsequently submitted a merger application to PTA to integrate Telenor Pakistan with its mobile subsidiary, PTML, which operates under the Ufone brand. During the transition period, Telenor Pakistan continues to function as a separate legal entity.
Regulatory authorities are expected to review the proposed amalgamation with respect to market competition, spectrum concentration, and consumer interests. After PTA’s decision, additional approvals will be required from the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), along with court sanction through a Scheme of Arrangement, before the consolidation can be finalized.
PTA has invited telecom consumers, stakeholders, interested and affected parties, and members of the public to submit written comments within seven days of the publication of the notice. Submissions may be addressed to the Director General (Wireless Licensing) at PTA Headquarters in Islamabad or sent via the email address specified in the public notice.
یہ خانہ پریاں ہی ہیں
بات تو تب ہےکہ سروس بھی بہتر ہو۔ ابھی تک تو سروس زیرو ہے
اس سے صارفین کو بہت فائدہ ہوگا اب یوفون کے پیکج پر ہم ٹیلینار اور پی ٹی سی ایل دونوں پر کال کر سکیں گے اس سے خوشی کی بات کیا ہو سکتی ہے ۔
Jazz
The merger is taking too long please complete this merger as soon as possible which enhances telenor’s internet speed and infrastructure.
Ufone towers are often down, there is no service, very poor network, now Ufone will do the same to Telenor
حقیقت یہ ہے کہ کوئی نقصان نہیں ہوا پی ٹی سی ایل نے یو بینک بنایا اور حال ہی میں 400 ارب میں ٹیلینار خریدا ہے۔ یہ چالیس ہزار پینشنروں کے اربوں روپے بقایاجات ہڑپ کر چکے ہیں اور عدالتوں کو تاثر دینا چاہتے ہیں کہ نقصان میں جا رہے ہیں۔
انکا آڈٹ ہونا بہت ہی ضروری ہے
I like it
Both are 3rd class net works. Merger will make no difference
We are experiencing very poor Ufone signal, especially with the internet service. Please keep an eye on the tower maintenance staff and ensure that they provide petrol or diesel whenever required.
If the service is not good, people will stop using it.
