PIA Shares Surge Significantly In Market Trading

According to an sources report on Monday 26th of May 2025, the value of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) Holding Company’s Class-B shares has increased dramatically.

In just one month, PIA Holding Company’s shares increased by more than “Rs 18,000 to reach the Rs 22,000 milestone per share”. Regulatory agencies have taken notice of the sudden increase.

The PIA management formally replied to a notification from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) by claiming that they are not aware of any facts or developments that would support such a dramatic increase in share value.

Since the increase in share prices has raised concerns about potential financial behavior or hidden business operations, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) and the PSX have both formally requested an explanation from PIA.

The federal government formally released an announcement for the privatization of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) during the final week of April, inviting interested businesses to make bids.

Under the current administration, this is the 2nd time the government has issued an Expression of Interest (EOI) for PIA.

Officials say the government is proposing to sell anything from 51% to 100% of its national carrier shares. Applications from interested purchasers must be submitted by June 3rd, along with a “Rs 1.4 million” not returnable charge.
