- June bills to reflect Rs0.80 net relief after fuel charge adjustment.
- Rs67b relief to be given first quarterly adjustment mechanism.
- Reduction applies across country including K-Electric consumers.
The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) has approved a reduction of Rs1.98 per unit in electricity tariffs; however, June bills will reflect a net relief of Re0.80 per unit after the application of a Rs1.19 fuel charge adjustment (FCA).
The notification states that electricity has been made cheaper by Rs1.98 per unit under the 2026 first quarterly adjustment, translating into more than Rs67 billion in consumer relief.
The reduction will remain in effect for three consecutive months, specifically covering the June, July and August billing cycles.
The adjustment applied uniformly across the country, including customers of K-Electric. However, the notification clarified that lifeline consumers will not be included in the revised tariff structure.
In a separate decision today, the power tariff has been increased by Rs1.19 per unit across the country, including Karachi, according to a notification issued by Nepra. The adjustment has been made under the April 2026 fuel price adjustment (FCA).
The monthly adjustment will also apply to consumers of K-Electric, the regulator stated in its notification. The increase will be reflected in electricity bills issued for the current month of June.
According to the notification, the Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) had initially requested an increase of Rs1.73 per unit under the April adjustment. However, the regulator approved a hike of Rs1.19 per unit after review of the submitted data and calculations.
