In a significant relief for residents of Karachi, the electricity tariff has been reduced by Rs 1.67 per unit, effective immediately.
This reduction comes following the monthly fuel adjustment, aimed at easing financial burdens on consumers amidst rising living costs.
The reduced tariff will directly reflect in consumers' bills for the current month, providing tangible relief to thousands of families and businesses across Karachi.
This adjustment follows consideration of fuel prices and economic conditions, reflecting a balanced approach towards sustainable energy provision.
Nepra okays hike in power tariff
Earlier, the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) announced a massive hike in power tariffs.
The new tariff translates to a hike of Rs 3.32 per unit, which will directly impact household and business budgets. This is likely to put a strain on many citizens already struggling with rising costs of essential goods.
The adjustment aims to account for fluctuations in fuel prices, which directly affect electricity generation costs. However, this increase comes at a challenging time for consumers, who are already facing rising prices for essential goods and services.
NEPRA’s notification outlines the specifics of the rate change, which will be reflected in upcoming electricity bills. The regulatory authority periodically reviews and adjusts electricity prices based on various factors, including changes in fuel costs.
