Telenor Pakistan will formally amalgamate into Pak Telecom Mobile Limited PTML (Ufone 5G) with effect from July 2026, marking the completion of one of the most significant transactions in the country’s telecommunications history. The amalgamation follows the receipt of the final statutory approval from the Islamabad High Court, which brought to close a comprehensive regulatory process spanning multiple regulatory and statutory institutions. From here on, Telenor Pakistan will cease to exist as a separate legal entity.

With this development, Telenor Pakistan’s operations, network infrastructure, and customer base will be fully integrated into PTML (Ufone 5G), creating a combined entity with expanded reach, a stronger spectrum portfolio, and greater capacity to invest in next-generation connectivity and digital services across the country.

A New Era for Pakistan’s Telecom Industry

Speaking on the occasion, President & CEO, PTCL, Hatem Bamatraf, said:

“This is a defining moment for our company and for Pakistan’s telecom industry. We are deeply grateful to the Government of Pakistan and to every institution involved in this process for their diligence, and support throughout this journey. I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our customers, whose trust has carried both Ufone and Telenor Pakistan through this transition, and to our employees, whose dedication and hard work made this milestone achievable. As we come together as one company, our ambition is to bring our customers cutting-edge products and services that set a new benchmark for digital experience in Pakistan.”

Operational Outlook and Service Continuity

The combined entity, (a wholly owned independent subsidiary of PTCL) will operate as PTML, with the continued commitment to:

Expanding 5G coverage across the nation
Strengthening nationwide digital infrastructure
Delivering improved and robust services to millions of customers

Ufone 5G has promised complete continuity of service for both Ufone 5G and Telenor Pakistan customers during the integration process, ensuring uninterrupted access to superior connectivity and an enhanced digital experience.
