K-Electric (KE) has revised its load-shedding schedule following improvements in bill payment compliance and efforts to curb electricity theft, with several Karachi areas moving to load-shedding-exempt status.
The utility’s latest quarterly review shows that several areas have shifted from the medium-loss to low-loss category, including parts of Korangi, Azizabad, Jacob Lines, Ibrahim Hyderi Goth, SITE and Surjani Town.
In Korangi, the affected areas include Abdullah Shah Noorani Colony, Pak Ittehad Colony, Zaman Town and Sectors 48-A, B, C, D and E. The changes also cover parts of Azizabad, including Blocks 2 and 8 of Federal B Area, Bhangoria Goth, Block 9 Yasinabad and Naimat Colony.
Other areas moving into the low-loss category include Kyani Shaheed, Randle Road, APWA Complex Road, Jubilee Cloth Market, Biltistani Mohalla in Jacob Lines, Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai Colony and Altaf Town.
KE attributed the improvements to lower aggregated technical and commercial (AT&C) losses, timely bill payments and coordination with local representatives.
Meanwhile, Saadat Colony, Moria Khan Goth, Soldier Bazar, Tagore Street, Aminabad Society and Martin Quarters have moved from the high-loss to medium-loss category and will receive reduced load-shedding. Parts of Orangi Town, including Khawaja Ghareeb Nawaz, Millat Colony, Madina Colony and Al-Mustafa Colony, have also seen improvements.
KE said nearly 70% of its service area, covering more than 2,100 feeders, remains exempt from load-shedding. The revised schedule is effective immediately and is available on the utility’s website, KE Live App and WhatsApp service. The previous review took place in July 2026.
