NEPRA approves a revised Rs25.30 per unit rate for extra electricity use by industrial and agricultural consumers; regular tariff unchanged.
The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has approved a revised rate of Rs25.30 per unit for additional electricity consumption by industrial and agricultural consumers under the government’s incremental consumption package. The concessionary rate was previously Rs22.98 per unit, a difference of Rs2.32. The regular tariff for these consumers has not changed.
Who Is Covered
The revised rate applies only to additional consumption by industrial and agricultural consumers under the package. Their regular tariff remains as it was.
Reason Given
A Power Division spokesperson described the change as a “marginal adjustment” affecting only additional consumption. The Power Division cited regional tensions and rising global fuel prices.
Relief Already Provided
The package has provided relief of Rs43.5 billion from December 2025 to September 2026.
Next Steps
The decision will go to the federal government for formal notification. The revised rate is proposed to take effect from the November 2026 billing cycle.
