The Minister made the remarks at the signing ceremony of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between StarCharge Energy Pakistan and Bahum Global.

He also appreciated Omar Malik, Director of StarCharge Energy Pakistan, for his leadership and efforts to bring international investment and world-class EV charging technology to Pakistan. According to the Minister, such initiatives can help strengthen the country’s growing EV ecosystem.
Haroon Akhtar Khan said rising fuel prices and increasing energy demand make it important for Pakistan to expand EV infrastructure. He added that electric vehicles can offer cleaner, more efficient, and cost-effective transportation options.
The Minister further noted that greater investment in EV infrastructure could reduce Pakistan’s dependence on imported fuels. It could also support economic growth, technological progress, and environmental sustainability.

The government is also focusing on electric mobility and renewable energy under Vision 2030. As a result, partnerships like this could play an important role in building a modern and greener transportation system in Pakistan.
