Energy giant Shell Plc's SHEL Pakistan unit is reportedly gearing up to transfer its domestic operations as it finalizes a sales agreement with Wafi Energy.
The decision is in line with Shell's June declaration to exit its 77% stake in the South Asian nation, reported Reuters.
The transaction is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2024.
The Pakistani affiliate has been wrestling with financial challenges aggravated by unfavorable currency shifts and pending payments.
- Massive Demand & Disruptive Potential – Boxabl has received interest for over 190,000 homes, positioning itself as a major disruptor in the housing market.
- Revolutionary Manufacturing Approach – Inspired by Henry Ford’s assembly line, Boxabl’s foldable tiny homes are designed for high-efficiency production, making homeownership more accessible.
- Affordable Investment Opportunity – With homes priced at $60,000, Boxabl is raising $1 billion to scale production, offering investors a chance to own a stake in its growth.
All this is happening as Pakistan navigates through treacherous economic waters, grappling with a looming financial crunch and decelerating economic activity.
The buyer, Wafi Energy, operates as part of Asyad Holding Group, which is rooted in Saudi Arabia and specializes in the fuel retail sector.
The report noted Shell Pakistan's operations include more than 600 mobility sites, 10 fuel terminals, a lubricant oil blending plant, and a 26% stake in Pak-Arab Pipeline Company Limited.
Price Action: SHEL shares are trading higher by 0.50% at $65.46 on Wednesday.
