In conversation with Mian Ahsan Ali, CEO Power Zone Engineering
In a bold stride toward transforming Pakistan’s energy landscape, Power Zone Engineering, under the leadership of CEO Mian Ahsan Ali, has emerged as a trailblazer by forging strategic alliances with global giants Fiat Powertrain Technologies (FPT) and Chint Power. These partnerships are not only reshaping market dynamics but also offering sustainable solutions to the country’s chronic energy challenges. Power Zone’s collaboration with Fiat Powertrain Technologies (FPT) a titan in the global powertrain sector with over 20,000 employees and a legacy linked to automotive icons like Ferrari, Maserati, and Jeep has introduced high-performance commercial generators to Pakistan. As FPT’s exclusive distributor, Power Zone is disrupting a market long dominated by established players like Perkins and Cummins.
During a recent conversation with Engineering Post Mian Ahsan Ali said “When we partnered with FPT, our goal was to redefine reliability in Pakistan’s generator market. FPT’s generators are engineered for durability, backed by industry-leading warranties. This isn’t just a product launch; it’s a commitment to empowering industries with uninterrupted power.”
The generators, renowned for their robust design and fuel efficiency, have rapidly gained traction. Industries plagued by load-shedding and voltage fluctuations are adopting FPT units, drawn by their 24/7 operational reliability. “Our market share has grown by 35% in the last fiscal year,” he revealed. “Businesses recognize that downtime costs far more than investing in quality machinery.”
Building on this momentum, Power Zone has cemented a transformative partnership with Chint Power, a global leader in energy storage solutions. As the official distributor of Chint’s Commercial and Industrial Energy Storage Systems (C&I ESS), Power Zone is addressing Pakistan’s urgent need for sustainable energy resilience. The collaboration introduces cutting-edge battery storage technology to Pakistan, enabling businesses to harness solar energy, reduce grid dependency, and slash operational costs. “Energy storage isn’t the future, it’s the present,” emphasized Mian Ahsan Ali. “With Chint’s systems, factories can achieve massive savings on energy bills, with ROI in just one to three years. This is a game-changer for Pakistan’s competitiveness.”
Chint’s modular systems, already dominant in Europe and North America, are designed for scalability. From textile mills to tech parks, enterprises are adopting these solutions to mitigate power shortages and align with global sustainability trends. “With energy reliability becoming a critical concern for businesses in Pakistan, we are committed to providing innovative storage solutions that ensure operational efficiency and sustainability,” said Mian Ahsan Ali. With such strategic partnerships, Power Zone Engineering is not just keeping pace with the energy sector’s evolution, they are leading it.
What sets Power Zone apart is its ability to blend international innovation with grassroots insight. While FPT and Chint provide technological muscle, Power Zone’s deep understanding of Pakistan’s energy pain points ensures tailored solutions. “Pakistan’s market isn’t one-size-fits-all,” explained Mian Ahsan Ali. “A generator for a Lahore textile plant differs from one for a Karachi hospital. Similarly, energy storage needs vary between a steel mill and a dairy farm. Our team customizes solutions to maximize efficiency.” This localized approach has been pivotal in navigating challenges like erratic grid policies and financing hurdles. With these bold initiatives, Power Zone Engineering is positioning itself at the forefront of Pakistan’s energy transformation, ensuring that businesses have access to world-class power solutions that drive efficiency, reliability, and growth
