Masood Textile Mills Limited has announced a major expansion of its renewable energy capacity, with the company moving to increase its aggregate solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity to approximately 10 megawatts (MW).
According to a disclosure submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) dated August 18, 2026, the textile company has successfully commissioned a solar PV capacity of 6.2 MW, which is currently operational. The company has also begun installing an additional 3.8 MW of solar capacity.
Once the additional installation is completed, tested and successfully commissioned, Masood Textile Mills expects its total operational solar capacity to reach approximately 10 MW.
The expansion is part of the company’s broader strategy to optimize energy costs and reduce its dependence on electricity supplied through the national grid. For an energy-intensive textile manufacturer, greater reliance on solar power can help manage electricity expenses while supporting more efficient energy use.
The company also highlighted sustainability as an important objective behind the initiative. By expanding its renewable energy footprint, Masood Textile Mills is seeking to strengthen its efforts toward more sustainable industrial operations.
The move comes as manufacturers continue to explore alternative energy sources amid the need to manage operating costs and improve long-term energy efficiency. For Masood Textile Mills, the planned increase in solar capacity represents a significant step toward reducing grid dependence while advancing its sustainability objectives.
With 6.2 MW already operational and another 3.8 MW under installation, the company is on track to reach its targeted 10 MW aggregate solar PV capacity, subject to completion, testing and commissioning of the additional facilities.
