Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) has announced strong consolidated financial results for the year ending December 31, 2025, showcasing significant year-on-year growth and reinforcing its leadership in Pakistan’s telecom and ICT sectors.
A major highlight for PTCL in 2025 was the successful acquisition of Telenor Pakistan, following completion of all regulatory approvals. Although operational results from Telenor Pakistan will be consolidated starting January 1, 2026, the acquisition marks one of the largest telecom consolidations in Pakistan’s history. With Telenor Pakistan and Orion Towers now wholly owned subsidiaries, PTCL has set the stage for further integration, including the planned amalgamation of Telenor Pakistan and Ufone to enhance coverage, operational efficiency, and market competitiveness.
PTCL Flash Fiber continued its market dominance in fiber broadband, achieving 50% year-on-year growth and maintaining a 33% subscriber share nationwide. The introduction of the ‘Tez Raftaar’ plan expanded affordable high-speed internet access, improving customer experience and supporting digital adoption.
Digital services also showed remarkable performance. The UPaisa platform exceeded 1.5 million active users over 30 days, with transactions reaching a monthly peak of 13.2 million, up 57% from 2024, and throughput growing 33% to PKR 21.9 billion. PTCL’s self-care ‘UPTCL App’ achieved over 5.7 million monthly active users, while Ufone’s digital sub-brand Onic grew 169% year-on-year, surpassing 406,000 subscribers through a fully digital operating model.
In the enterprise sector, PTCL and Ufone strengthened their offerings nationwide, including mobility, connectivity, and digital solutions. Ufone expanded corporate GSM services and scaled its Device-as-a-Service platform to support IoT, M2M, and field operations, winning high-value contracts across government, FinTech, and other verticals. PTCL Smart Cloud recorded strong growth by onboarding enterprises, fintechs, digital banks, and government institutions, driven by demand for sovereign cloud services, managed security, and disaster recovery solutions.
PTCL also expanded AI-ready, high-performance data center infrastructure, while the Wholesale segment saw growth in IP bandwidth and managed capacity through partnerships with mobile operators and satellite providers. Internationally, PTCL reinforced its carrier wholesale leadership, leveraging a robust submarine cable network and national fiber infrastructure to meet rising global data demands.
Innovation remained central to PTCL’s 2025 strategy. The Company introduced Pakistan’s first 5G-ready smart residential community, enabled bill payments via WhatsApp with end-to-end PDF billing, and partnered with Mercantile, Apple’s authorized distributor, to launch iPhone 17 series bundles with PTCL and Ufone services in major cities.
PTCL’s efforts earned recognition at the Dragons of Pakistan 2025 and Dragons of Asia 2025 Awards, securing Gold awards for its ‘Dil Se’ clean water campaign and accolades for impactful campaigns that delivered meaningful social benefits.
With these achievements, PTCL has reinforced its position as Pakistan’s leading integrated telecom and ICT provider, while laying the foundation for further technological innovation, market expansion, and digital transformation in the coming years.
