HUBCO Green (Private) Limited (HGL), a subsidiary of Hub Power Holdings Limited (HPHL), has expanded its footprint in Pakistan’s electric vehicle charging market by operationalising eight Direct Current (DC) fast-charging stations across major urban centres. The stations are now active in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, with additional installations planned as part of a nationwide rollout in collaboration with Pakistan State Oil (PSO), PARCO Gunvor, and Attock Petroleum Limited (APL). HUBCO, Pakistan’s largest Independent Power Producer (IPP), announced the milestone in its latest director’s report.
The company began its charging infrastructure initiative earlier this year with the inauguration of its first EV station at Ocean Mall, Karachi, in January 2025. This was followed by formal agreements with both PSO and APL, aimed at developing reliable EV charging infrastructure at select fuel station locations. The collaboration with APL was signed in April 2025, while the agreement with PSO was announced in February 2025. Through these partnerships, HUBCO Green plans to make EV charging more accessible by strategically placing facilities along highways, motorways, commercial hubs, and destination venues such as upscale malls. This approach aligns with its broader vision of enabling greater adoption of electric mobility across Pakistan.
HUBCO is not limiting its presence to charging facilities alone. Through its subsidiary, Mega Motor Company (Private) Limited (MMCPL), the group is expanding into the New Energy Vehicle (NEV) market. MMCPL serves as the official partner of Chinese automaker BYD in Pakistan and is spearheading the introduction of new electric mobility options for local consumers. In February 2025, MMCPL launched BYD’s Shark 6, a plug-in hybrid pickup that marked Pakistan’s first entry in this category. According to HUBCO, the vehicle has attracted a strong market response, reinforcing the growing consumer interest in alternatives to conventional internal combustion vehicles.
HPHL noted in its report that the global automotive industry is undergoing a significant transition toward electric mobility, and the company is closely monitoring opportunities to expand its portfolio in line with these trends. By diversifying into both EV charging infrastructure and NEVs, HUBCO is aiming to establish a long-term presence in Pakistan’s evolving transport and energy sectors. Alongside these new initiatives, HUBCO continues to operate its existing energy portfolio, managing power plants with a combined installed capacity of 2,289 MW. With its parallel focus on traditional energy generation and sustainable transport solutions, HUBCO is positioning itself as a key player in the country’s transition toward cleaner and more efficient energy use.
