N2  - Stakeholder's perception is very important for any kind of strategic decisions formulation  as  it provides  with  basic  ideas  and  insights. Pakistan is developing  country facing  shortfall  of electricity  while  only  68.6%  population  has  access  to  electricity (World  Bank, 2014).  Many types  of  hidden  and  somehow  visible  subsidies  are  there  in  the  country  which  if  removed  can bring  up  many  opportunities  and  benefits  especially  for  people  who  are  living  below  poverty line.  This  research  study  is  conducted  to  know  the  perception  of  stakeholders  (experts  mainly) that if subsidy reform program is implemented for power sector. Main idea of removing subsidy comes  up  as  most  of  the  electricity  is  generated  by  fossil  fuels  which  are  very  harmful  for environment. Removal of subsidy will open new windows for better technology and exploitation of resources. SWOT analysis is used for stakeholder's perception followed by Analytic Network Process  for  prioritization  of  SWOT  factors  which  helps  to  identify  most  important  factors  and somehow guides toward better strategy formulation in the country.
