Wafi Energy Pakistan Limited reported a profit after tax of Rs3.54 billion for the year ended December 2025, marking a 7.5 percent increase compared with the previous year. The earnings growth comes during the company’s first full year of operations in Pakistan’s oil marketing sector, a period defined by retail expansion and stronger performance in its lubricants business.
The financial results were approved by the company’s Board of Directors, which highlighted that 2025 represented a foundational year following its entry into the local energy market. The board acknowledged that the company’s operational footprint expanded meaningfully during this period, laying the groundwork for further consolidation in a competitive sector.
A key driver of growth was the expansion of its Shell retail network. During the year, Wafi Energy added 35 new fuel stations across the country, including a second environmentally friendly outlet constructed using recycled plastic materials. With these additions, the nationwide Shell retail network surpassed 680 sites, strengthening the company’s presence across urban and highway corridors. The expansion reflects a continued push to increase market penetration and accessibility while incorporating sustainability elements into selected sites.
Beyond retail fuels, the lubricants segment delivered strong results across both consumer and industrial categories. The company reported progress in strengthening partnerships with original equipment manufacturers, expanding its mining portfolio, and recording growth in indirect and process oil segments. These developments indicate diversification within the product mix and deeper integration into industrial supply chains.
Chief Executive Officer Zubair Shaikh stated that the company maintained a focus on expansion and customer service while investing in growth areas throughout the year. The emphasis on service standards and network growth aligns with broader industry trends, where oil marketing companies are competing not only on pricing but also on site quality, product availability, and customer engagement.
Looking ahead, the company signaled that operational efficiency and business expansion will remain central themes in 2026. Management aims to enhance shareholder value through disciplined cost management and continued retail and product growth. The board has authorized management in principle to explore potential investment and acquisition opportunities within Pakistan’s oil marketing sector as part of its long-term growth strategy. Such moves could further consolidate its market position if viable targets emerge.
In addition to domestic expansion, Wafi Energy is planning to establish a Dubai-based subsidiary. The proposed entity is intended to expand commercial activities and strengthen the company’s regional presence. By positioning itself in Dubai, the company may leverage regional trade networks and commercial linkages to support its broader business objectives.
The 2025 performance underscores a transition year in which Wafi Energy consolidated its operational base while pursuing measured expansion. With rising profitability, an expanding retail footprint, and exploration of regional opportunities, the company is positioning itself for sustained participation in Pakistan’s oil marketing landscape.
