ISLAMABAD: The Co­­mpetition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) has ap­­pr­oved the acquisition of a shareholding in Heavy Electrical Complex (Priv­ate) Ltd by DW Pakistan (Pvt) Ltd from IMS Engi­neering (Pvt) Ltd, under a share purchase agreement.

DW Pakistan, a conglomerate involved in investment and acquisitions across various sectors, is not currently active in manufacturing, engineering, or energy markets.

IMS Engi­nee­r­ing, the seller, provides engineering, procurem­ent, construction (EPC), and commissioning services.
