The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) is considering a temporary relief of Rs 1.50 to Rs 1.80 per unit in electricity bills for Pakistani consumers over a three-month period, likely from May to July 2025. This potential reduction is part of the Quarterly Tariff Adjustment (QTA) mechanism.
The proposed refund, totaling up to Rs 53 billion, was presented during a public hearing by the Power Division and CPPA-G. If approved, the relief will apply to customers of all electricity distribution companies, including K-Electric, but will exclude lifeline consumers, prepaid meter users, and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. NEPRA is expected to finalize the decision after reviewing stakeholder feedback.
Consumers across Pakistan may receive a reduction of Rs 1.50–1.80 per unit in electricity bills for three months under NEPRA’s tariff adjustment plan. The relief will cover DISCO and K-Electric users, excluding lifeline, prepaid, and EV categories. Final decision is pending NEPRA’s review.
