I dont Know you are holder of plot or Planning to buy here. But in near Future KEMC is dead investment.
KEMC is developed society which is located on Defence Road Near Kana Kacha Village, The Biggest Drain of Lahore Hadiara Drain Passes Through it. I dont know why this Road is called defense Road, it no where near DHA area. One reason may be it is near Hadiara sector.
This society is developed for some time, I cant comment on quality of development, Roads and Boundary Look OK, Still this area could not trigger any Construction or Population, As abundant Land is available in this area hence there is not much price appreciation. Look at [Khiabane Ameen where price is coming Donw fast] Another example is IEP or Engineer Town, which Could not get any significant Price appreciation at least in last 4 years.
I don't know the current status but previously most of Blocks were not Transferable to non doctors. This restriction also limits the price appreciation and Construction. There is no one living here or none of House is under construction.
Price of One Kanal average land is about 12 Lac Two Kanal could be found in about 22 lac. Sale and purchase is slow, society office is fining difficult to manage without revenue. Recently there was rumor that they are considering merger in DHA Rahber. My own estimation is this merger was only for difficulty in management.
I tried my best to figure out how reliable and secure is process to transfer but I Could not be satisfied. The society office remained close most of time.
If you are holder of Plot in KEMC and intend to make house in few years then I would advise you to switch to IEP which is better managed and just located at same place on Defence Road on opposite direction.
Just few days back I visited IEP where I found few Under constriction houses and price of average plot is still 17 Lac, I was planning to buy a plot in IEP but could not Finalize due to shortage of time.
Another similar option in Nasheman 2 which is next to UET, Society.

KEMC is a project laucnched in 1989 by then DR Ifthikar Ex prinicpal KEMC ,it is a very slow project and now it is developed but very poorly with no infra structure. They are trying to merge with DHA Rahbar which is also a dead project using DHA name. Prof Ifthikar is in his 80s still works with his son Dr Asif who holds a fake degree from Carribean and also look after the project. i will advice you to call at this no to get latest update; or talk to Dr Arif , he is also incharge of this project.
Sincere advice; do not try to sell your plot through him.trust me.

Thnaks Ashraf sb,
It seems you have some deep insight into KEMC housing,Really appreciate your reply.
Do you think they r serious in developing this scheme?? I doubt there is any one looking after this project.
I am really confused what to do.

Dont worry , just wait , plots are their,developed.best advice is to write letters to CM,Punjab and others to take this society by LDA for managment purpose .if you are in Lahore call Dr ifthikar .

I recently visited KEMC, still only a couple of houses there. Big society and a bridge or river hadiara drain. A lot of activity in near by DHA rahber hence some appreciation possible.
