Pakistan’s ongoing power sector reforms, particularly the renegotiation of agreements with independent power producers (IPPs), are projected to save the country nearly Rs. 1.4 trillion over time.
According to the Pakistan Reforms Report 2026 by Mishal Pakistan, the government’s efforts to revise contracts with private power producers are expected to significantly cut costs by reducing capacity payments and introducing more efficient contractual terms. These measures are likely to ease pressure on the national treasury and eventually lower electricity costs for consumers.
The report highlights that over 600 reforms were carried out across 135 federal institutions during the past year, with the energy sector accounting for approximately 40 percent of the total reform initiatives.
Digital transformation has also accelerated, with more than 200 reforms implemented through digital platforms aimed at improving transparency and public service delivery. Notable progress was recorded in the areas of law and justice, digital governance, and investment policy.
Speaking at the launch ceremony, Federal Minister for Climate Change Dr. Musadik Malik emphasized that transparency and evidence-based policymaking are crucial for strengthening public confidence and reinforcing Pakistan’s reform agenda.
Mishal Pakistan CEO Aamir Jahangir stated that the 2026 report reflects a more mature reform process, marked by a transition from policy announcements to practical implementation and measurable outcomes.
