LAHORE: DWP Group's MEP Division has clinched the HVAC contract for Airlink Communication Limited's under-construction production facility in Lahore's Sundar Green Special Economic Zone (SGSEZ), staking a fresh claim in Pakistan's fastest-expanding industrial corridor.

Under the deal, DWP Group will supply and install a high-efficiency GREE Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) system that will regulate temperature, humidity and airflow across the sprawling plant. Engineers designed the system to cut energy consumption while sustaining round-the-clock reliability inside one of the country's most closely watched electronics manufacturing projects.

Airlink first unveiled the facility in September 2025 through a filing with the Pakistan Stock Exchange, describing an eight-acre complex built around 1.4 million square feet of purpose-built infrastructure. Airlink directly owns three of those acres, while its wholly owned subsidiary, Select Technologies (Pvt.) Limited, holds the remaining five. The company designed the plant to manufacture and export mobile phones, laptops, LED TVs, electronics and home appliances, and it will draw ten years of fiscal incentives under the SGSEZ framework, a scale that makes the HVAC contract far more than routine air conditioning work.

Airlink also built sustainability into the blueprint from day one. The company confirmed the facility will run on a one-megawatt solar power generation system designed to lower production costs and shrink its carbon footprint, positioning the VRF installation as one more layer in an increasingly energy-conscious industrial build.

The same Sundar Green site is also set to host Airlink's newest venture: an electric bike assembly plant under its AirV brand, approved by the company's board in July 2026 as part of a push into Pakistan's electric mobility market. That expansion underscores why climate-control infrastructure at this particular complex carries weight beyond a single production line DWP Group's system will need to serve a campus diversifying well past smartphones.

Malik Tariq Mehmood, COO of DWP Group's MEP Division, linked the contract to the company's wider industrial ambitions. "This project is another example of how our engineering capability contributes to modern industrial infrastructure," he said, framing the award as part of DWP Group's "Powering Pakistan's Future" push into energy-efficient buildings and national development projects.

For DWP Group a Lahore-based conglomerate founded in 1999 that also owns the GREE and ECOSTAR consumer electronics brands in Pakistan the Airlink contract deepens a pattern of vertical integration. The same company that manufactures and distributes GREE air conditioners for Pakistani households is now engineering climate-control systems for one of the country's largest electronics export facilities, a full-circle role few competitors in the local HVAC market can match.

Neither has revealed the amount of the contract or the installation schedule. Airlink initially planned to begin commercial flights from the SGSEZ site by the end of 2025; the HVAC award almost one year later indicates that construction is still going on prior to this launch.
