K-Electric Announces Relief for Karachi Consumers During Ashura

K-Electric has announced that loadshedding will remain suspended in designated areas of Karachi during Ashura, which will be observed on June 25 and 26, 2026, to facilitate religious processions, majalis and other gatherings.

According to the power utility, 371 feeders have been designated as high priority for the occasion. These include 244 medium- and high-loss feeders that would normally be subject to scheduled loadshedding.

K-Electric said the identified feeders will remain exempt from loadshedding from the evening of 8th Muharram until the morning of 11th Muharram.

The utility stated that extensive coordination has been carried out with relevant authorities and stakeholders to ensure uninterrupted power supply along procession routes and at congregation points across the city during Ashura.

K-Electric added that its operational teams will remain on high alert throughout the period, with additional technical resources deployed to address any faults or emergency situations as quickly as possible.

In a separate relief measure, the company has extended payment deadlines for electricity bills falling due during the Ashura holidays. Bills with due dates of June 25 and 26 can now be paid until June 29, 2026, without any late payment surcharge.

The utility said all scheduled banks and authorized payment collection centers have been informed about the revised payment deadline.
