Who serves Korangi-Landhi

All electricity supply, metering and billing in Korangi, Landhi & Shah Faisal is operated by K-Electric Limited under the IBC Korangi integrated business centre. Walk-in disputes, sanctioned-load applications and title transfers are handled at Korangi Industrial Area, near 5-Star Chowrangi, Karachi.

Bulk supply for the area is fed from the Korangi Town Grid (220kV) grid station.

Load profile: Heavy three-phase industrial + medium residential. Industrial consumers should monitor Maximum Demand Indicator (MDI) — exceeding 80% of sanctioned kW for 30 min triggers a demand-charge that often dwarfs the energy charge itself.

Korangi, Landhi & Shah Faisal — frequently asked

I run a Korangi factory — why is my demand charge so high this month?+

B-2 industrial tariff bills you on Maximum Demand (kW) and energy (kWh) separately. If even one 30-minute window in the billing cycle exceeded your sanctioned kW, the entire month's demand charge is recalculated at the higher band. Install a kW-controller relay to cap demand.

Is the Landhi EPZ on a separate KE grid?+

Effectively yes — EPZ-A and EPZ-B feeders are exclusive to exporters and are dispatched ahead of residential load on KE's merit order, which is why EPZ outages are rare and short.

Shah Faisal Colony resident — which IBC handles my complaint?+

Shah Faisal Colony falls under IBC Korangi for billing and IBC Korangi's complaint cell for power-supply tickets. Use helpline 118 first; if unresolved in 48 hours, walk in with the complaint number.

Why are Korangi residential bills lower than DHA at same kWh?+

Most Korangi residential meters have sanctioned load ≤5 kW and qualify for the NEPRA protected-consumer slab — which prices the first 200 units at heavily subsidised rates. DHA loads are usually above 5 kW and fall outside that band.

ToU meter installed at my Landhi unit — when are peak hours?+

Currently 6 PM – 10 PM in summer and 5 PM – 9 PM in winter for industrial ToU; off-peak energy is roughly 35% cheaper. Shift batch processes to night shift if your operations allow.

Editorial note: feeder names and IBC boundaries change periodically. Confirm with helpline 118 for current dispatch.
