International Steels Limited Powers Ahead with 6.4MW Solar Project

International Steels Limited (ISL), a subsidiary of International Industries Limited, has successfully completed and activated a 6.4-megawatt solar power project at its Karachi facility. Announced via the Pakistan Stock Exchange, this milestone reflects ISL’s commitment to sustainable manufacturing, energy efficiency, and long-term cost optimization. The company, which produces cold rolled, galvanised, and colour-coated steel products, views this project as a key component of its environmental strategy.

As industrial players across Pakistan turn to renewable energy, ISL’s solar transition underscores the growing role of clean energy in heavy manufacturing. The solar installation is expected to reduce the company’s carbon footprint while delivering operational savings—critical in a time of rising energy costs and growing ESG expectations.

This move follows a broader national trend, with Pakistan’s total installed solar capacity growing from 321MW in 2021 to over 4,000MW by the end of 2024. Other firms such as Tariq Corporation and Olympia Mills have also joined the solar shift, setting up smaller on-site power systems.

As solar adoption accelerates, ISL’s initiative positions it among the leaders in Pakistan’s industrial sustainability movement—setting a precedent for clean energy integration in the steel sector and beyond.
