The greatest economies in the world were cultivated when capital met capability. History has given us excellent examples of prosperity being created when investment found ideas worth supporting – like in the Dutch Republic with the world’s first stock exchange, or in Italy where the Medici family brought in the world’s first formal banking system in the world. read more
Engro Connect (Private) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Engro Corporation, is home to Pakistan’s largest independent tower platform, comprising over 14,000 towers nationwide. Through its assets—Engro Enfrashare and Deodar—Engro Connect plays a pivotal role in supporting Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) with reliable, scalable, and future-ready infrastructure.
Engro Enfrashare, with over 4,400 tower sites, was built from the ground up to deliver modern connectivity solutions. Its growth laid the foundation for one of Pakistan’s most significant infrastructure expansions—the USD 562.7 million addition of Deodar, formerly the tower platform of VEON’s Jazz, which brought more than 10,500 towers into the portfolio. Together, these assets enable faster network rollouts, broader coverage, and improved digital access across both urban centers and underserved rural areas.
Engro Connect offers a full suite of infrastructure services, including tower colocation, build-to-suit (B2S) solutions, and in-building systems (IBS) that enhance coverage in high-density environments such as malls, offices, and stadiums. These offerings help reduce capital expenditure for operators while improving service quality for end users.
With a strong focus on execution, Engro Connect has consistently delivered B2S sites in as little as 60 days, maintained network uptime at best-in-class levels, and ensured connectivity even in challenging terrains and during natural disasters like floods.
Sustainability is central to our mission. Today, 50% of Engro Enfrashare sites are solar-powered, and we are actively working to extend renewable energy solutions across Deodar’s footprint. These efforts reflect our commitment to reducing emissions, lowering operational costs, and building a resilient digital infrastructure for the future.
This sector puts food on the table in millions of households across the world. The importance of this is obvious but food goes beyond being a fuel for human life – it is also a celebration of our identity as an agricultural civilization. In Pakistan in particular, the agricultural sector employs nearly two-fifths of the population and contributes to a quarter of annual GDP. For a country with nearly 250 million people, this is a standout sector that we think has the potential to add great value, including but not limited to enhancing food security and boosting international earnings via agri-export potential.
We are excited about our investments in Engro Fertilizers, and FrieslandCampina Engro Pakistan, which are both companies that stand out for their leadership and operational excellence, and their focus on who matters: the farmer.
Engro Fertilizers stands out for its engineering leadership, evidenced by the fact that it operates the second-largest single train urea plant in the world. Through digital innovations like the UgAI app (Pakistan's first integrated agri e-commerce platform) and specialty fertilizers like Zabardast Urea (Zinc-coated fertilizer), this company is a pioneering a new path for advanced agricultural practices.
FrieslandCampina Engro Pakistan (FCEPL) is our strategic partnership with Royal FrieslandCampina of the Netherlands. 150 years of dairy excellence and a customer-first approach make it an essential player in the nutrition landscape of Pakistan, and indeed the world, with FrieslandCampina’s extensive global footprint.
From the lights that brighten our homes to the machines that power our industries, energy touches every part of our lives. Throughout history, the human ingenuity involved in unlocking and utilizing increasingly concentrated forms of energy (from steam to wood, coal, oil & gas, and nuclear power) has been key to our evolution as a society and economy, and it is a vital foundation for the future as well.
The energy sector is vast, encompassing exploration, power generation, logistics and distribution, and so much more. Every piece of this chain matters and that’s why we’re so invested in it. As society develops, the need for energy grows with it. It’s not just about fueling lights; it's about fueling opportunities for people to live better lives and for businesses to grow and succeed.
Our energy assets (held through Engro Energy, Engro Vopak, and Engro Elengy) represent diverse energy interests. From mining indigenous fuel to generating power for the grid, to operating the most utilized gas terminals in the world, we play our role in bringing down energy costs while providing reliable energy to power our homes and industries. Our leadership teams are experts in energy economics and continue building efficiency across assets. At the same time, we engage with the Government to advocate energy reform, so that contracts are respected and the rules of the game are fair for everyone.
We often don’t realize that petrochemical products are everywhere in our homes, from pipes and cables to doors and floors. Petrochemicals make everyday products more accessible, affordable, and durable – they improve our costs of living and enhance our standard of our living. Petrochemicals provide key inputs to industries like manufacturing, construction, and consumer goods, enabling innovation and convenience that we often take for granted. Local production of these products also reduces reliance on imports, strengthens local industries, and supports jobs across the value chain. It’s not just about industrial growth; it’s about empowering businesses and improving lives through products that touch every aspect of daily living. This is why we see petrochemicals as a cornerstone of progress — an essential sector for shaping a stronger, more self-reliant economy.
Our investment in Engro Polymer & Chemicals reflects our commitment to localizing production of essential materials that power homes and industries. As the sole manufacturer of PVC resin in the country, the company provides materials critical for infrastructure and consumer goods. We like its diverse product portfolio which strengthens supply chains across key sectors while dependency on imports. Furthermore, this deregulated sector incentivizes innovation and sustainability to be truly competitive.
