PD Sets 2026 Deadline for DISCOs to Install Smart Meters on Govt Connections

The Power Division on Wednesday set a September 30, 2026 deadline for Distribution Companies (DISCOs) to upgrade 90% of all federal and provincial government electricity connections with AMI meters. This initiative aims to ensure billing transparency and resolve longstanding reconciliation issues regarding government payables, with all DISCO CEOs directed to achieve 100% replacement within the timeline. While this move enhances power sector transparency and financial health, its long-term impact on Pakistan's economy is gradual and unlikely to cause immediate shifts in USD/PKR or gold rates.
