In other city news, K-Electric reported that timely bill payments by customers and efforts to reduce electricity theft have led to several areas in Karachi becoming free from load-shedding.

These areas include Nusrat Bhutto Morh, Manghopir Road, Halari Memon Society, Musalmanan-e-Punjab Society, Kathiawar Society Scheme-33, Saima Villas Super Highway, Chappal Up Town, Nadeem Avenue, VIP View, Ali Residency, Al-Ghafoor Atrium Tower, Saba Imperial, and North Karachi sectors such as 5-C3, 5-C4, and 11-A. Other areas, including Manu Mirani Goth, Shah Latif Town to Gulshan-e-Hadeed, Manghopir, Nusrat Bhutto Colony, Alize Garden, Gulistan-e-Ahmed, Bagh-e-Hassan Colony, Qasimabad, Qasba, Islamia, MPR Colony, Siddiq-e-Abker Mohallah, and Iqbal Goth, have reduced load-shedding by four hours.

This update follows K-Electric’s recent review, which introduced a revised load-shedding schedule effective from May 2025. The previous review was in December 2024.

K-Electric stated that 70% of its network, covering over 2,100 feeders, remains free from load-shedding. The remaining 30% experience load-shedding of 6 to 10 hours, depending on electricity theft and unpaid bills in those areas.

The updated schedule is available on K-Electric’s website, and customers can check updates via the KE Live App or KE’s WhatsApp service.
