Zahidjee Textile Mills closes 262-loom weaving unit in Pakistan
Zahidjee Textile Mills has shut a 262-loom weaving unit, a move that adds to the textile industry crisis in Pakistan as imports, power costs and taxes squeeze mills.
Zahidjee Textile Mills told the Pakistan Stock Exchange it has shut a weaving unit with 262 looms.
The notice, dated October 16, 2026, did not give the unit's location, staff numbers or financial impact.
Industry representatives estimate around 40% of power loom units in Faisalabad and nearby areas have shut.
Industry figures point to cheap imports, high electricity tariffs, taxes and labour costs.
