Pakistan : International Industries Limited (IIL), Pakistan’s largest manufacturer & exporter of steel and polymer
pipes, is pleased to announce another major stride in its journey towards sustainability, self-sufficiency,
and environmental responsibility.
Following the successful inauguration of its first 1 MW solar project at its Karachi factory, IIL recently
hosted a commissioning ceremony for an equivalent 1 MW solar project at its Sheikhupura production
facility. This significant initiative underlines the Company’s firm commitment to harnessing renewable
energy sources and reducing its carbon footprint.
The significant landmark of the commissioning was commemorated through a ceremony graced by the
presence of Ms. Selina Rashid Khan, a member of the Board of Directors of IIL, who inaugurated the
project, which reflects the commitment of IIL’s boardroom leadership to promoting sustainable
practices.
“These solar projects are a testament to our dedication to sustainability and responsible environmental
stewardship,” said Mr. Sohail R. Bhojani, CEO of International Industries Limited. “By embracing solar
energy, we are not only reducing our ecological impact but also demonstrating our commitment to a
cleaner and greener future for Pakistan and the global community.”
The commissioning of these solar projects at IIL’s factory locations signifies a significant step in the
company’s larger commitment to sustainability. In total, the Company plans to install a minimum of 4
MW of renewable energy capacity across all its factory facilities, further solidifying its position as a
leader in environmentally responsible industrial practices.
In addition to reducing its carbon footprint, IIL anticipates substantial cost savings over the operational
lifespan of these solar projects. By reducing reliance on conventional energy sources, the Company aims
