Lahore: The Directors of Mughal Energy Limited have released the Directors' Report alongside the Audited Financial Statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, reflecting a period of mixed economic signals and strategic financial maneuvers. The report, dated September 29, 2026, outlines the company's operational and financial performance amidst a fluctuating Pakistani economy.
Mughal Energy Limited, a subsidiary of Mughal Iron & Steel Industries Limited, primarily engages in electricity generation and supply. The fiscal year 2026 revealed a profit of 9.132 million rupees, a significant turnaround from the previous year's loss of 21.280 million rupees. Earnings per share were recorded at 0.05 rupees, up from a loss per share of 0.07 rupees in 2025.
The broad economic environment in Pakistan during FY-2026 experienced a shift from stabilization to gradual recovery. The initial months up to February 2026 saw improved macroeconomic stability, enhancing business confidence and economic activity. However, the latter half of the year faced inflationary pressures and external-account challenges, exacerbated by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), Mughal Energy Limited's financial strategy included early repayment of 1,858.333 million rupees of long-term loans to its holding company. Additionally, the company secured a 2,500.00 million rupee loan from United Bank Limited for five years. The company's net worth rose to 4,045.043 million rupees as of June 30, 2026, from 3,435.206 million rupees in the previous year, with a break-up value per share increasing from 15.85 rupees to 18.67 rupees.
The company's profit was largely driven by rental and notional income from property development, with notable capital expenditure on a 36.50 MW hybrid power plant project. The solar plant remained under leasing arrangements, contributing to operational efficiency. Inventory levels increased due to coal imports for power generation, and deposits rose due to margins placed against letters of credit.
Despite the challenges, Mughal Energy Limited maintained effective cash management, closely monitoring cash flows to ensure liquidity. The company disclosed all contingencies and commitments in detail in the financial statement notes. The designated market category for Mughal Energy Limited is energy generation and supply, reflecting its core business operations and strategic focus in the electricity sector.
