In 2007, strategic partners formalized a joint venture for Aisha Steel Mills Limited (ASML) to construct a major private-sector flat-rolled cold-rolling complex in Bin Qasim, Karachi. This milestone involved Japanese firms Metal One Corporation and Universal Metal Corporation joining the Arif Habib Group to finance, build, and operate the plant.

$750 million greenfield project under Pakistan’s 2001 Fertilizer Policy. The foundation stone was laid on April 26, 2006, by the prime minister. This venture was formed as a joint partnership between the Fatima Group and the Arif Habib Group.

In August 2006, the Pakistan Privatization Commission officially handed over management and a 96.34% stake in Javedan Cement Limited to Haji Ghani Usman & Group for Rs 4.315 billion. The transaction followed a September 2005 bidding process and a brief legal delay resolved by the Sindh High Court.

In July 2005, the Government of Pakistan privatized Pakarab Fertilizers Limited by selling its 52% stake for Rs 14.125 billion to a winning consortium comprising the Fatima Group and the Arif Habib Group. This transaction transferred management of the large Multan-based chemical and fertilizer manufacturing complex to private ownership.

The Arif Habib Group acquired the Pakistan operations of Bangladesh's Rupali Bank in 2004. It was initially named Arif Habib Rupali Bank, later renamed Arif Habib Bank, and eventually sold before merging into what is now Summit Bank (now Bank Makramah)

In 2004, Arif Habib Limited was established as a separate entity by spinning off and hiving off the core securities brokerage and investment-advisory operations from its parent group structure (historically tied to the group's foundational capital-market and securities frameworks). This corporate restructuring allowed the newly segregated brokerage arm to function as a dedicated, specialized entity.

In 2004, the Arif Habib Group marked a major period of strategic expansion by executing two distinct acquisitions: the privatization purchase of Thatta Cement Company Limited and the establishment/acquisition phase of Sukh Chayn Gardens. These milestones represented the group's targeted diversification into heavy industrial manufacturing and high-end real estate development.
