Infra Zamin Pakistan has partnered with Air Link Communications Limited to support a Shariah-compliant financing arrangement through a structured facility backed by a credit guarantee of PKR 1,098 million. This guarantee covers 75% of a PKR 1,464 million long-term debt facility.

As part of a broader guarantee package totaling PKR 3,573 million, supporting total financing of PKR 4,764 million for Air Link Communications Limited and its subsidiary, Select Technologies (Private) Limited, the transaction significantly enhances the credit profile of the facilities. This enables the mobilization of private sector capital while providing strong credit protection to participating financiers. The initiative reflects Infra Zamin’s continued commitment to strengthening domestic manufacturing and advancing Pakistan’s technology value chain through innovative credit enhancement solutions.
