Kohinoor Textile Mills Limited has approved the installation of a 48.36 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) along with an additional 9.34 MW solar power plant, marking another move by Pakistan’s textile industry towards captive renewable energy solutions.
The Board of Directors approved the project as a material development under Pakistan Stock Exchange regulations.
Project Size And Timeline
The combined capacity of the planned battery storage and solar installations will reach 57.7 MW.
Both the solar plant and Battery Energy Storage System are expected to begin commercial operations during the last month of the second quarter of financial year 2026-27.
Strategic Focus On Energy Costs
Kohinoor Textile Mills said the investment is aimed at achieving operational excellence and creating long-term value for stakeholders.
The project is expected to generate significant savings in energy costs once it becomes operational, helping the company manage the impact of high electricity expenses on its manufacturing operations.
Regulatory Disclosure
The company disclosed the development in compliance with Sections 96 and 131 of the Securities Act, 2015, and Clause 5.6.1(a) of the Pakistan Stock Exchange Regulations.
Kohinoor Textile Mills informed the exchange on August 10, 2026, allowing TRE Certificate Holders to be notified of the development.
Sustainability And Operational Push
The investment reflects the company’s continued focus on sustainability and energy efficiency as manufacturers face rising power costs.
The battery storage system will allow the company to store excess solar electricity and use it during periods of peak demand or higher electricity tariffs. This could improve energy reliability while helping reduce dependence on grid electricity.
The project also highlights a broader shift within Pakistan’s industrial sector, particularly among manufacturers, towards captive renewable energy systems. Companies are increasingly exploring solar generation and battery storage to manage volatile power costs and strengthen the reliability of their energy supply.
