Zarea Enters Pakistan’s Coal Supply Chain

Zarea Limited has entered Pakistan’s coal supply chain to reduce import reliance and support energy security. With government policies promoting Thar coal usage and infrastructure projects like a 105-km rail link underway, the shift is expected to save $700 million annually. Zarea’s expansion aligns with these initiatives, offering competitive, high-quality coal for industrial and power generation needs.

Zarea has expanded into the local coal sector to strengthen its position in the industrial fuel market, ensuring a stable and cost-effective supply for key industries like textiles and power generation. The company is optimizing logistics and procurement to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.

In early 2025, Zarea raised Rs1.03 billion through an IPO, with funds allocated to expanding Agri Biomass and developing an in-house logistics model. Currently active in steel, agri biomass, cement, and building materials, Zarea plans to enter seven new commodity sectors, including fertilizers and chemicals, to diversify revenue streams and drive growth.
