On February 9–10, 2026, Treet Corporation Limited was represented at LUMS’ Rausing Executive Development Centre at the executive programme “Innovating at China Speed: Demystifying Business Models for Unprecedented Growth and Competitiveness.”
Our Group Chief Innovation Officer, Sohaib Chaudhry, joined as a guest speaker, sharing an industry perspective on how Pakistan can accelerate its solar transition through lithium battery innovation and structured Pakistan–China partnerships.
Storage Is Now the Bottleneck
Pakistan’s solar adoption is growing rapidly. But generation is no longer the core issue. Storage is.
Lead-acid systems limit reliability and lifecycle performance, while lithium solutions are now both economically and technically viable. As highlighted in the session, Pakistan’s battery market represents an estimated ~USD 350 million opportunity, with a clear shift underway toward lithium systems.
The real question is no longer whether lithium will scale, but who will build the right business models around it.
Learning from China’s Playbook
A central theme of the programme was understanding how Chinese firms scale through integrated models that combine technology, manufacturing discipline, financing, and digital integration. Drawing from engagements with partners such as Highstar and INVT, Sohaib shared how the focus is not just on procurement, but on:
- System-level integration
- Segment-specific solutions
- A structured roadmap from imports to local value addition and long-term industrial collaboration
The shift is from selling batteries to delivering energy systems backed by data and lifecycle thinking.
From Insight to Action: The Lithion Platform
Treet Battery Limited is expanding into lithium-ion and energy storage systems through a phased strategy
- Immediate import and integration
- Medium-term local value addition
- Long-term localisation and regional export potential
At the centre of this strategy is Lithion, Treet’s dedicated lithium energy storage platform, with Lithion NeoPower positioned as a premium solution for solar and backup applications. Built on safe LiFePO₄ chemistry and ≥6000 cycle life performance, the platform is designed for Pakistan’s grid realities and long-term reliability. The goal is not to compete on the lowest price, but on predictable uptime and lifecycle value.
Building the Road Ahead
The discussion reinforced a clear opportunity: combine China’s industrial depth with Pakistan’s growing market and manufacturing base to build structured, transparent, and scalable energy storage solutions.Treet’s participation reflects our commitment to shaping the future of energy storage in Pakistan through innovation, partnerships, and disciplined execution.
The transition to lithium is already underway. The next step is scaling it the right way.
