In a notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the company stated that the installment is one of twelve equal monthly payments being made under the Government of Pakistan’s approved framework to address the circular debt crisis in the energy sector.

According to OGDC, the total interest amount of Rs92bn is being repaid in twelve equal monthly installments, which commenced in July 2025.
