Discos Privatisation in Pakistan Needs No Fresh CCI Approval
Discos Privatisation in Pakistan can proceed without fresh CCI approval, the Privatisation Division says, citing a 2011 decision and a 2021 power policy, while a Senate panel objects.
The Privatisation Division says fresh CCI approval is not needed for Discos privatisation, citing decisions from 2011 and 2021.
A Law Division letter dated 25 September 2026 is cited as re-confirming that position.
Senate committee chairman Zamir Hussain Ghumro says matters within provincial domain must go before the CCI.
The committee warned of parliamentary action, including a possible privilege motion, if its direction is not followed.
