In a move that signals a strategic shift from traditional energy operations to high-value digital services, Mari Energies Limited has launched a cloud and artificial intelligence infrastructure platform near Islamabad, marking its formal entry into Pakistan's fast-evolving digital infrastructure market.
The announcement was made through a disclosure to the Pakistan Stock Exchange under Section 96 of the Securities Act, 2015. The initiative is being executed via Sky47 Limited, a majority-owned subsidiary of Mari Energies, through its wholly owned unit, Mari Technologies Limited.
The platform, branded as Sky47 Cloud and AI, has been established at the Silicon Valley of Capital Smart City near Islamabad. According to the filing, the infrastructure is designed to deliver secure, scalable and sovereign digital capabilities, enabling enterprises, public-sector institutions and technology innovators to operate mission-critical workloads within Pakistan.
The company stated that the system aims to meet global standards in performance, dependability and regulatory compliance. By hosting sensitive information and high-value computing processes domestically, the facility is intended to reduce reliance on offshore data centres.
This development reflects an effort to strengthen Pakistan's indigenous digital capacity. The emphasis on sovereign infrastructure suggests a focus on retaining critical data within national borders, a concern that has grown as digital adoption accelerates.
Mari Energies informed the exchange that the disclosure constituted material and price-sensitive information. It requested the Pakistan Stock Exchange to circulate the announcement to all trading right entitlement certificate holders in accordance with regulatory requirements.
The launch of the Sky47 Cloud and AI platform represents a diversification for Mari Energies into cloud computing and AI infrastructure services, placing it within Pakistan's emerging digital economy while remaining subject to capital-market oversight and compliance obligations.
