Engro Powergen Qadirpur Limited (PSX: EPQL) has appointed Khurram Abdullah as its new chief executive officer (CEO), effective October 15, 2026. The company disclosed the leadership change in a notice submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Tuesday.
Abdullah will assume the position for the remainder of the current term, which will conclude on the date of the company’s next election of directors. The appointment marks a change in the leadership of the power generation company.
As part of the transition, outgoing CEO Athar Abrar Khwaja has resigned from his executive position and will join the company’s board of directors. He has been appointed to fill a vacant seat on the board and will serve until the next directors’ election.
The changes reflect a shift in the company’s executive leadership and board composition. Both appointments are linked to the period leading up to the next election of directors, according to the company’s notice.
Engro Powergen Qadirpur Limited is listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol EPQL. Its corporate announcements are relevant to investors and market participants tracking leadership changes, company governance and developments within Pakistan’s power sector.
A change in chief executive can be an important corporate development because the CEO oversees the company’s operations and strategic direction. However, the appointment announcement does not, by itself, indicate any immediate change in the company’s financial performance, operating strategy or future business plans.
For shareholders, the disclosure provides clarity on the company’s leadership arrangements and the status of its outgoing chief executive. Khwaja’s move to the board also means he will continue to hold a formal position within the company, although his responsibilities will differ from those of the CEO.
The next directors’ election will mark the end of the stated terms associated with these appointments, according to the announcement. Further information about the company’s leadership priorities and any related strategic decisions may emerge through subsequent corporate disclosures.
The appointment of Khurram Abdullah is therefore a key corporate update for Engro Powergen Qadirpur Limited and investors following listed companies in Pakistan. Market participants will be able to monitor future PSX filings for additional information about the company’s management, governance and business developments.
