In a move toward cleaner industrial operations, Dynea Pakistan Limited, a leading chemicals manufacturer, has announced plans to develop a 1.1-megawatt captive wind power project at its site in Hub, Balochistan.
The initiative is part of the company’s broader strategy to enhance sustainability, reduce energy costs, and align with Pakistan’s national transition toward renewable power.
“The Board of Directors of Dynea Pakistan Limited has approved the execution and implementation of a 1.1MW captive wind power project… subject to regulatory approvals and contracts,” the company stated in a disclosure to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Thursday.
Renewable Energy Gains Momentum in Pakistan
This development reflects a growing trend among Pakistani industries, where energy-intensive sectors are shifting toward renewable alternatives to combat rising fuel costs and grid unreliability.
Earlier this year, Thatta Cement Company Limited successfully commissioned a 4.8MW wind power project at its Thatta plant, raising its total renewable energy capacity to 9.8MW.
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), global renewable capacity rose by over 15% last year, reaching 4.5 terawatts, with Pakistan also accelerating its share in the global green shift.
EPC Agreements in Progress
Dynea Pakistan noted that it is currently finalizing the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) agreement and related arrangements for the project. Once operational, the facility will supply captive energy to Dynea’s production units, potentially reducing its carbon footprint and operational costs.
The company aims to leverage clean power for long-term competitiveness and corporate sustainability goals.
Product Line Expansion in Resin Division
In a separate notice to PSX, Dynea Pakistan also revealed plans to expand its product offerings by introducing a new category within its resin division:
-
Resin Additives
-
PVA White Glue
Commercial production and sales will begin soon using the existing production infrastructure, with only minor investments required for storage and HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) enhancements.

“No major capital expenditure is planned,” the company stated, citing favorable market evaluations as the basis for launching the new line.
