Peshawar: Kohat Cements Company Limited has clarified the status of its 28.5 MW Coal Fired Power Plant Project currently under review by the Peshawar High Court. The company addressed concerns raised in a news item published by the Dawn newspaper on July 10, 2026, regarding possible judicial interventions that might impede the project's progress.

According to the company's announcement on July 13, 2026, the Peshawar High Court has not mandated a halt on the ongoing works of the coal-fired plant. Instead, the court's directive emphasizes compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) approvals, which the company asserts are already being adhered to. The company is keen on clarifying that the plant's operations will strictly align with all relevant EPA laws, regulations, and guidelines, ensuring full legal compliance.

Kohat Cements statement seeks to alleviate any misconceptions about the project's legality and operational status. The company's commitment to adhering to environmental regulations is underscored as part of its legal obligations and operational protocols.

In financial terms, the coal power project falls within the broader industrial category of the Pakistan Stock Exchange's (PSX) designated market category. According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the project is progressing without interruption, contrary to any claims suggesting otherwise.

The disclosure by Kohat Cements is aimed at setting the record straight, ensuring stakeholders and the public are accurately informed about the project's status and adherence to environmental and legal standards.
