In January 2025, Dawood Hercules was renamed as Engro Holdings and Engro Corporation became its wholly owned subsidiary company. The Company deploys and manages investments across a diverse range of sectors, including in its subsidiaries and associated companies. Engro Connect has acquired all 10,500 telecom towers owned and managed by Jazz in a landmark $560 million deal. This transaction marks the first time a major telecom operator in Pakistan has divested its entire tower infrastructure.
Cyborg Score Rationale
